00: Get to know the Pitts S-2

Carl’s Pitts is waiting for you to practice some takeoffs and landings. She is quite a handful, so take your time to get it right. You are starting at Carl’s former workplace: Airbus in Hamburg.

The Pitts S-2 is a tail dragger - so landing techniques are somewhat difficult to master. You will practice quiet a few go-arounds.

Carl’s letter

Take good care of my Pitts S-2. She is nearly as old as I am. I got her back when I worked for Saab in Linköping. You know, aviation has always been my secret passion, even though I grew up in a family of fishermen in a nice little coastal town on Åland. Building planes and flying them was my life - but the sea had its place too.
