There's one in every crowd...  (;>0)

Colour blind, maybe?
Or looking at a negative of the approved-Pitts paint scheme and got confused?

You could just as easily say the odd one out is the one with the square tail and Grove(?) gear.  Or the S-1 that's slipped into the mix...

Reminds me.  Years ago at the Curtis Pitts Fly-in at Ozark
Alabama, there were at least 40 Pitts, most of them red
and white.

Everyone was messing around.  The tower from Dothan
even called over and told us to knock it off.

It was glorious.  If someone did a roll on takeoff, and
some hall monitor reported it, there were 39 other red
and white Pitts flying the same day at the same place.

Who, me?

Curtis and Marshall.  Great people, good times.

If I had unlimited money, I'd get one.  However, being an annuitant on a fixed income (;>0) I'll stick with the RV.

Maybe I can guilt my children into bankrolling a trip to Steinbach for a few hours in one...

That doesn't make any sense.  An RV costs 10x what
a Pitts costs.  Remember someone here was complaining
that they were expensive, and I went to Barnstormers
and found a mostly completed project for under $2,000
(no typo).

Remember Sammy Mason, when he was 16, bought a
Pitts project and put it together and he flies airshows
in it now.  Canadians try to deny that, because it
makes them look bad, but it's the truth.

A Pitts is not an expensive airplane, like a composite
monoplane.  I know a billionaire pilot, he has an Extra,
not a tube & fabric Pitts with 1930's technology that
any blue collar guy can afford and build.

Canadians are so weird about money.  They hate it,
and they hate people with it, and they blame a lack
of it for all their woes.

Anyone that's willing to work hard can have a Pitts.

Always with the money, money, money.  Canadians
hate money, as far as I can tell, and they want
Kathleen Wynne and Justin Trudeau to get rid of
it all as fast as they can, so that all Canadians
are impoverished in the future, just like the
socialist dream that is Venezuela.

Now this guy is really colour blind

Both in 1:32 scale

Which one of these doesn't belong here in a Pitts line-up?\
