The original Pitts S1 is the one. The Eagle was born out of the need for lard arse Yanks to fit in a Pitts look alike but were too big for the real deal.

The S2 is a bit heavy and thirsty for my pocket. So a small simple pocket rocket is what I'd choose.

And the machine in the picture is neither a Pitts or an Eagle.
