................... made 3 landings (not at the same time I must add)! the last was the icing on the cake! Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
That means you are due for a brown underpant groundloop soon!!!

Watch out when you first land on tarmac, much less forgiving of any sideslip.

ZA speaks the truth. Beware any greaser in a Pitts, because on the law of averages means you're due a howler shortly thereafter.

Still, it helps if after said howler on a narrow tarmac runway with a more-than-sporting crosswind on your less-than-favourite side (and said runway has pointless pointy stick things lining the edges) to have a Laser driver at the hold to transmit a cyptic "Six" over the radio, the number in question being the number of bounces it takes to get the brute firmly stuck onto the runway.

Edited: The proon swear filter seems to be having a laugh...for Laser read L-a-s-e-r.

Agreed. The Pitts can be a tricky little brute - but great fun!
