Pitt Special!!

[Nathaniel]

Today coming back from Club Cherokee Flee Market I got to fly a Pitts Special! Did some rolls and loops! First aerobatics!! And it was with a valid flight instructor!

[Chuck E.]

Did he let you land it? :D

[Nathaniel]

No unfortunately not because you could hardly see in front of you.

[Grant]

What he forgot to tell you is his wonderful boss :D (<--That's Me) got him the ride. Good for you Nate.

[Nathaniel]

yep that's right. thank you Grant

[Chuck E.]

You must get some more time in it Nathaniel and learn to land it, hopefully the airport you are flying at will be suitable for a curved approach to the flare which solves the can't see in front of it problem. :D

Everyone should have a Pitts (for aerobatic fun), a Supercub (for STOL Fun), and a Cessna 206 or Piper Archer (or similar for Traveling) in their hanger. You have been 2/3rds bitten!!

I'm 2/3rd there, just waiting for the C185.

"There are Pitts Specials and there are other airplanes and the two shouldn't be confused."

You said it was a Pitts, right? So what's new?! There isn't a Pitts made that has good visibility to the front. That's part of the "charm" of the airplane! :)

I want the Cub and the 206, but I'll trade the Pitts for a Waco if you don't mind ;)
