Larry, I never got to fly in a Pitts, since they were only one seaters back then. Since, however, they have come out with a 2 seater, and I would love to take a ride in one. I don"t know how long this old 65 yr old body would retain lunch tho. Since Mr. P{itts also had a crop dusting service at the time I worked for him, I did get to get up in a Stearman, and experience a few snap rolls, which was scary, but neat. Good to hear from someone who built and flew a pitts. What a plane, especially given the fact that the design was as much a "seat of the pants" event as the flying of it. The man was just a regular guy, not some high hat engineer. In fact the story goes that every time the Russians would compete with the Pitts in international aerobatic contests, and lost, it meant that the engineers who built the losers were sent to the gulags, which in turn retarded the development of the Russians" military aircraft program.
