Interesting Pitts observation above. I've never flown one but witnessed many, many landings on Barton's rough turf. Never saw a really tidy Pitts landing yet - there's always a hint of mains/tail/mains/tail bouncing in the roll out. Unsurprising in a short-coupled aeroplane on rough ground with a relatively high landing speed, I suppose.
