Well, much as I love taildraggers, about the only "real" response to that is that if you pull the numbers from the NTSB, taildraggers have a signficantly higher accident rate than trikes. Taildraggers are basically built to take off; trikes are better configured for landing. I don't know about you, but a 767 sure looks like a real plane to me, and I don't notice a wheel under the butt end of that baby.
