Jet Pitts S-2S Special , G-JPIT at the Duxford Summer Airshow on Sat 24th Jun 2023

This is the World's only Jet Powered Pitts Special I believe.
It is piloted by the famous Rich Goodwin.

I was there at Duxford that day!!!! He pulled some incredible moves!!! He flipped it mid-air at insane roll rates and flew right above the ground inverted. He threw it around like paper - you'd think it had thrust vectoring to pull those angles. I loved that day! So many cool aircraft and museum pieces. It was SO HOT, but COMPLETELY worth it!

[@runways_railways]

I agree with you 👍 It was a great day. I was there aswell 🤣 Thanks for watching 👀

Tremendously soft landing!

[@johnrozs]

Pretty funny that you have to fishtail it on the ground so you can see whats in front of your plane 😂

[@johnhickman106]

Inherent trait of most tail draggers.

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

​@@johnhickman106 Exactly.

"This is the World's only Jet Powered Pitts Special I believe." Jet ASSISTED. ;-) Those two jet engines provide 700 pounds of thrust (350 each) while the single Lycoming provide 1000 pounds. Still, very cool.

[@runways_railways]

I believe so too 👍 Thanks for watching 👀
