LOL I've seen this in photos before but never in the flesh. Not sure it was the same aircraft or even a Pitts. Some of the guys at R/C model air displays also get up to these sort of tricks. Great fun.

I'll bet it would be a challenge getting back inside that thing if it was upside-down.

Saw that very plane doing its thing many yrs ago at Trenton Ont, at their annual Canadian Forces Base Airshow...........pilot landed inverted and left the aircraft.........he had a winch attached to his harness and after a suitable time to wave to the crowd, re-entered and then took off once again to perform the end of his routine,.........landed upright as the finale........

Can take off upside-down in that thing? that would be quite a sight!
