Description
We are proud to bring to the market this stunning 1978 Pitts S-2A, registration F-GGTR, presented in its unmistakable yellow and black checkerboard scheme.

Whether intended for private aerobatics, display flying or specialist training, this distinctive aircraft delivers the character and direct flying qualities that have made the Pitts name legendary.

The installation is simple and focused on the essentials, exactly as it should be in a Pitts.
Interior
The cockpit is exactly what one would expect from a genuine Pitts: compact, purposeful and entirely focused on the flying. The two-seat tandem configuration and enclosed canopy provide a traditional aerobatic environment, with a functional layout designed around visibility, control and pilot engagement rather than touring comfort.
Exterior
F-GGTR presents exceptionally well externally in its distinctive yellow and black checkerboard scheme.
During a recent in-person inspection, the aircraft was found to be in excellent visual condition. No visible cracks, loose or sagging fabric, or stone-chip marks were noted. The covering appeared clean, correctly tensioned and well maintained throughout.
