Pitts Special Air to Air

Found this footage in a box of old camcorder tapes. It was shot back in 1996 when I was a contest aerobatic pilot. We were bored one day and decided to go for a spin, Giles in his RV-4 which can cruise at the same speed as the Pitts so made a good camera ship. The camera was hand held so the footage is quite jerky especially towards the end where I was doing some lomcevaks and flick/tumble maneuvers. Unfortunately most of it was missed because the camera was zoomed in too much. What little was captured I've thrown together here. I was pretty low on a few of those pull-outs!

I am flying G-SIIB my Pitts Special S2-B fitted with factory smoke.
