Have been spending a lot of time on barnstormers.com looking at aerobatic aircraft.
There's a type called a Pitts, and I was fortunate enough to have had a ride in one some few years ago.
Pretty much every pilot I've ever talked to who's flown a Pitts talks about the skill required to keep it happy on the ground, to keep the spinny thing up front pointing ahead, not backwards.
I can't possibly come up with any real reason why I want one, just that I want one.
Here's a video from a guy who's selling his, and if everybody reading this would just send me their spare change, then sooner or later I'll get to own one.
