Looked like the guy at 7:20 might ground loop it. Tail wheel definitely threw dirt.

Funny you guys mention possible transition issues, my buddy has been flying 767/757 for a long time and when we talked about going up in a GA , he said he wouldnt want to fly at all because he'd probably be panicked by the fact we would be under his stall speed most of the time.

I can't help but think about the crash at Hobby that killed the pilot, her husband and brother-in-law. They were at pattern altitude so all she probably had to do was pull the chute when the wing and nose dropped. Still makes me a bit sad to think about that one; young kids lose mom and dad just...
