I found this while on the EAA website, and thought it was cool. Note the Cox logo.

Art Scholl was a legendary icon flying the Pitts S-2A. I believe his fame started in the early 1960's lasting until the mid 1970's. He was the Evil Knievel of the air. I have a American Modeller of Art in his Chipmunk holding the Cox Chipmunk as well. Unfortunately, Art lost his life in 1985 or 1986 due to a problem he encountered during some filming. Art's stunts were used in hundreds of movies that required aircraft aerobatics. Art's S-2A plane had the Cox insignia on the fuse as well. Ken

If i remember correctly, it was during the filming of "Top Gun" he lost his life. His Pitts entered a spin he could not recover from due to the heavy camera equipment. He crashed in to the sea and was (again if i remember correctly) never found. Sad ending for a great aviator.

You don't really appreciate the Pitts S-1 until you stand next to it. Very small airplane. The wingspan is aound 17 and a half feet.

Also if you notice in the inverted pic you can see the amount of down elevator input which is required to maintain level flight.

I was lucky enough to see Art Scholl fly his Chipmunk at an airshow. He would do a snap roll right after takeoff, and the wingtips would just clear the ground by a few feet. He was an amazing pilot.

Here's my old Cox Pitts (with a couple of spare PeeWees).

I was sitting on the runway one day " position and hold" from the tower, some guy calls tower and asks for straight up departure.
I thought what the hay is that, little Pitts rolls out half way down the runway, takeoff roll about 20 feet then straight up. WOW.
