Hawaiian Air’s Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker

I love flying taildraggers: They keep your skills sharp and are at times challenging. I own a Maule MX-7-180 and my special treat is to fly the supposedly only flying Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker, owned by Hawaiian Airlines, on a volunteer bases. For work I fly Airbus A330-200, it is so different from conventional flying that I am glad to have enough real plane flying opportunities, especially taildragger, so that I don’t lose my stick flying skills.
