Description
AT Aviation are pleased to present this 1992 Aviat Pitts S-2B, offering a great opportunity to own one of the best-known two-seat aerobatic aircraft ever produced. The aircraft has 650 hours total time on both the airframe and engine, with the propeller showing just 295 hours. There is also the option to purchase two parachutes with the aircraft, making this a particularly well-equipped package for anyone looking to get serious about aerobatic flying. The Pitts S-2B needs very little introduction. It is a two-seat, tandem-seat biplane developed specifically around aerobatic performance, with the S-2B using the 260 hp Lycoming AEIO-540 and an inverted oil system designed for sustained aerobatic flight. The combination of a powerful six-cylinder engine, compact airframe and highly responsive controls gives the S-2B the sort of performance and handling that has made the Pitts a benchmark in aerobatic aviation for decades. It is capable of advanced aerobatic manoeuvres while retaining the advantage of having two seats, making it equally useful for training, coaching, display flying or simply enjoying serious aerobatics with another pilot on board. What particularly stands out with N197TJ is the combination of hours and equipment. With the Hooker harnesses, smoke system and ELT, the aircraft is already well equipped with the key equipment in place and ready to go. It is also fitted with a Garmin GNC 420, providing a useful combination of GPS navigation and communication capability. Please get in touch for more details - Whether the intention is competition, advanced aerobatic training, display work or simply owning an aircraft that is genuinely exciting to fly, N197TJ deserves serious consideration.
