Built with a steel-tube fuselage and aluminum rib and fabric wings, it combines classic design pedigree with modern reliability. Its 180-horsepower engine and constant-speed propeller give it strong climb performance and excellent energy for aerobatic maneuvers. The Super Decathlon is fully capable of loops, rolls, inverted flight, and other advanced maneuvers, making it an ideal platform for tailwheel, stick and rudder, and and aerobatic training. With its tandem seating and exceptional visibility from both seats, it provides an immersive and confidence-building training environment. The aircraft’s light control forces and honest handling help pilots quickly develop precision and stick-and-rudder skill. Known for being both forgiving and highly capable, it appeals to students and seasoned pilots alike. Whether exploring basic airmanship or aerobatics, the Super Decathlon delivers a uniquely engaging flying experience.
Our Super D, N27WH the "Whiskey Girl", was acquired in 2021. A 2007 model, she was in splendid condition and exceptionally well equipped, and the previous owner was a soldier who retired from the unit Brett Pearce worked at. In addition to a Garmin 430 GPS, she has a digital AHRS attitude indicator and directional gyro as well as a VOR/ILS, making her effectively IFR capable.
The Pitts Special is a legendary two-seat aerobatic biplane renowned for its unmatched agility, precision, and power. Its lightweight steel-tube and fabric construction, combined with short wings and a powerful 260-horsepower engine, give it explosive performance. The S-2B is capable of high-energy maneuvers including snaps, tumbles, rolling loops, and sustained inverted flight. With its razor-sharp control response and high roll rate, it demands and develops exceptional stick-and-rudder discipline. Tandem seating places the pilot squarely in the center of the action, offering excellent visibility in all attitudes. The Pitts is widely used by airshow pilots and competition pilots due to its unmatched maneuvering capability. Despite its performance, it remains a remarkably honest aircraft when flown with proper technique. For pilots seeking world-class aerobatic training, the Pitts S-2B delivers a thrilling experience that few aircraft can match. There are few things in life that equal the sensations of strapping on a tiny biplane with a huge engine, and blasting off into the sky!
Our Pitts S-2B "Charlotte" came from Memphis, Tennessee. She is equipped with an MT 3 Bladed Composite prop, as well as a Sky Dynamics 6-in-1 exhaust, and is the only S-2B equipped with an S-2C Instrument panel. The modifications done allow the engine to breath and make even more horsepower than stock, and the MT propeller is both efficient at grabbing the air while flexing, giving a smoother ride and damping out the vibrations from such massive horsepower on a tiny airframe.
