Roger Smith flying his Pitts
Aerobatic Aircraft to Hawaii

Roger Smith is heading for the coast and beyond
trying to see if his extended range tank he just
added would take him
all the way to Hawaii. This would be the
first Pitts to fly non-stop from California
to Hawaii. His 180 hp engine is tuned
to the max and his twenty five gallon tank
may just not be enough for a Hawaii trip.
Really I'm just dreaming. The picture of
this Pitts aerobatic aircraft was taken just
days after he completely rebuilt every part of
the plane from the skin to the motor.
In the actual photo, before I put it flying over
the coast, Rogers son Brent was
proping the engine because they ran the battery
down trying to start it. It turned
out to be a bad carburetor which prevented it
from starting.
I just had to have a little fun with the picture
teasing Roger and Brent a little
while making it appear to be flying over the
coast.
