Last year, we welcomed Richard Goodwin and his unique Jet Pitts at our show. This year, he returns with the demonstration that gave us goosebumps the first he came to Sanicole: pure aerobatics with his Pitts S2S.
Rich is a former Royal Air Force Tornado Pilot and current airline pilot, who just adores tinkering with his Muscle biplane and throwing it around the sky. The Pitts S2S is a worldrenowned unlimited aerobatics aircraft with enormous power and impressive manoeuvrability, which Rich further enhanced with larger ailerons and extra wingsurface for a phenomenal rollrate and improved controllability at slow speeds.
His impressive demonstration is further enhanced by his aircraft's powerful smoke system and the beautiful blue livery featuring main sponsor Aerobytes. Without a doubt, Richard will leave a lasting impression again this year.
