Pitts I will definately pop over and say hi, I am a big fan of the Pitts Special, one of my fave aircraft, love to see what it can do. Did you read the article on the pitts day out to toulouse recently in Pilot?
I'd love to go to the tiger clubs party but I will be at EFT in the states at that point, though upon my return in Dec I will definately be heading over!
I've heard of the "check" pilot scenario at Tiger and it sounds like a mutually beneficial way of flying for check pilot and student alike, while saving instructor fee's! More FTO's should adopt it!
