There is a HUGE problem involved in moving tailwheel warbirds like
P51's,
F8F's TBM's, TBF's, Spitfires, Sea Furies...you name it.....in a ground
environment where there is limited room to S taxi these airplanes to
clear
the nose while in motion.

I would go as far as telling the tailwheel warbird pilots that they are
NOT
authorized to move on ANY taxiway without a motorbike wing walker. That
is
the ONLY way to stop what happened Sunday.

No handoffs. The same escort, from startup to takeoff.

I wouldn't restrict it to warbirds.

If you can't see someone standing in front of your aircraft from the
cockpit, you need a wing walker.
