Peshaw. In addition to 3, 4, and 5 turn spins with recovery on a heading, the B-52 IP I got my tailwheel checkout with made it a point to give me a workout doing 1-wheelers in gusting direct crosswinds. I never had a chance to be timid with them.
That's just good-natured ribbing, of course. Crosswinds and tailwheel acft are real business and I respect every pilot's personal minimums.
