Give me a break......heck I fly the T-6 and still say to myself as we takeoff......"Positive rate, good engines, gear up".......my fellow ct buds still laugh since we only have 1 engine.........
and I will probably always say gear down full stop......but is it a safety issue.....nope........not even close..
