You might be able to find other taildraggers in the area, but will you be able to rent any of them solo? Probably not! N878AC is a 2001 Super Decathlon which can be rented for solo flights with a Tailwheel Endorsement and airplane check out. This Super Decathlon is maintained in perfect condition. It is owned by Decathlon, LLC and leased to NoVA Pilots at Leesburg Executive Airport (KJYO).

Wikipedia explains that the 8KCAB Super Decathlon is two-seat fixed conventional gear (tailwheel) airplane designed for flight training and personal use and capable of sustaining aerobatic stresses between +6g and -5g. The Super Decathlon entered production in the United States in 1970 as a more powerful and stronger complement to the Citabria line of aircraft.
