"If you think landing a Pitts is hard, upright, try it inverted...apparantly the view of the runway is actually better"... ;D....!

Has anyone come across this unusual aeroplane...?

Cheers all... ...!

Paul.

now that, is cool:)

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.

That is wild!!  :o

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

Hey I never thought Ozzy could do it!
Now thats really serious.

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........

Now that is v.sensible

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