Flew flight test for the factory for a while. Happened every week and the early 20 series birds could be a handful. I flew one of the first (sn 009, now in the Pima Air Museum) and they were fun but still could bite you it not handled right.
Any airplane can bite you if not treated right, but they are far safer than women...
