Default Ideas for a tail wheel patch?

Hey guys, I'd like to make a patch for my flight jacket highlighting the fact that I am a tail wheel pilot.

Basically I have 0, yes zero, landings in a tricycle airplane, and have only flown tail wheel aircraft. CE170, rv4, rocket, T6, stearman....

wanted to have a patch made to show some taildragger pride, but cant think of any catchy phrases or anything, even tried googling taildragger memes, or tailwheel memes... not much came up.

Since you guys are pretty much a cocky bunch with a good sense of humor, this would be a good place to start!

It would have to have "draggin' tail" on it somewhere.

How about in image of a tailwheel in the middle with the words, "I don't ride trikes" around the edge.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

Building on the previous suggestions, the graphic should probably be some kind of stylized dragon, that could be construed as a "tail dragon".

As long as it doesn't get mis-construed in non-flying circles...

Try a google image search. I like one that looks like a werewolf.

For me it would be a silhouette doing a wheel landing.
