Here are a few photos of Jerry Chisum flying a Pitts Special very well indeed for the camera.
Tim Sullivan flew the camera ship for me and kept us nice and close to the clouds.
Spent some time with Jerry inverted and indulged in a few wing overs as well.
Its always good fun flying with Tim and Jerry.

Agreed!

Great shots Gavin - you make it hard to pick a favourite out of the set some days.

Wow great photos Gavin. He sure has done a good job rebuilding that aircraft, last time I saw it in the flesh it wasn't in the best shape, well for a pitts anyway

Great series Gavin- the shape of the Pitts is great, and that nice solid paintscheme really makes it stand out against the sky in those photos above.
Thanks for sharing thumbup1.gif

Must say, I like the look of a silver Pitts as well.
Its amazing to think that it is a late 40s design.
