Tailwheel Picture of the Week:

Alex Green’s Acro Sport II

This week’s Photo of the Week comes from Taildraggers member Alex Green, who submitted this great shot of his Acro Sport II. You may recognize Alex from our recent Instagram and Facebook feature, where Zack (Taildragger Zack) caught up with him at Oshkosh to talk about his airplane, how he got started in aviation, and his passion for aerobatics.

At just 18 years old, Alex is already flying and enjoying an airplane that demands skill, precision, and a real love of aviation. It’s always exciting to see the next generation embracing grassroots flying and carrying it forward. This is one young aviator to keep an eye on, folks!

Thanks for sharing the photo with the Taildraggers community, Alex — best of luck at basic training in the Air National Guard!
