Now if we could only get the Red Arrows. or the Frecce Tricolori to do a North American Tour...

I saw Frecce Tricolori in 1984 in the S.F. Bay Area. They did a really good show, but the Blues are more exciting, eh?...I'll take afterburners over colored smoke any day. Isn't it about time for them to return to Reno?

grrrr

Relax Dasher, The best way to upgrade a Pitts is to get a Pitts with two seats so you can take your friends, or not. Grrrr is just not a sound you like to hear while an engine is running.

Pitts is easier to say. I think in casual conversation if you tell someone you have a Zlin they will avoid you for fear of catching it. When you tell someone you have a Pitts they understand, Oh Pitts, money pit, correlation.
