Inspired by Ross's post, I thought I's start a album to upload pic's of local Pitts Specials I've seen over the years. Only one I've flown is VH-SZE, a S-2A (two hole).
S-2B - at Wodonga for Vic Champs years ago.
Same S-2B at Leongatha
VH-SZE - Leongatha, Vic Champs comp years ago.
In-flight, for the 100th Anniversary of the Wrights first flight, 17th December, 2003.
SZE in company with Laser H-JAD at Vic Champs, Wodonga.
Jim Leroy and his Bulldog (modified S-2S) at Avalon, a few months before his fatal accident.
Chris Sperou's Pitts S-1-11B "Super Stinker"
S-1S (could be an "E" if homebuilt, not factory built). This had the modified wider track main wheels and could have a C/S prop. This makes it more like a S-1T.
S-1S
This is how you push a little akro bird by yourself!
I so loved flying SZE - on way back from practice day down at Tooraddin, late afternoon.
Skip Stewart's Prometheus (modified S-2S) in company with a Edge 540, Avalon.
S-2A, lives at Lethbridge near Geelong.
Paul Bennet's "Wolf". I'd think the most powerful Pitts in the country at 400HP.
Poorly rolling a Pitts in the YMMB training area - with a mate in the front hole shooting the video!
