Jamie McAllister, Event Director comments: \u201cThis display literally takes your breath away. It\u2019s fast, daring and exhilarating, and we are delighted to welcome Richard Goodwin and his remarkable display back to Wings & Wheels. It\u2019s the only part of the display which also combines aviation and motoring and is a spectacle not to be missed.\u201d
\nG-EWIZ is powered by a six cylinder, 8.5 litre engine producing over 300bhp and pulls forces of plus 6g and minus 5g at speeds of over 200mph. The Pitts S2S first flew in December 1977 and is a unique single-seat version of the classic Pitts Special aerobatic biplane powered by a fuel injected Lycoming engine. It is amazingly agile and capable of spectacular tumbles and a different style of high energy aerobatics. The plane\u2019s unique paint scheme was designed and created by Mirco Pecorari at Aircraft Studio Design.<\/p>\n
