More about Wolf Pitts Pro

Steve Wolf first built his custom wings for the Pitts Series of aircraft. He then built an improved airframe to suit the wings. This aircraft was built for air show pilot Wyche T. Coleman III. When it was put on the market, Wyche would not sell it to just anyone. It had to be the right person with the skills to fly such a powerful aircraft.

VH-PVB is the very first Wolf Pitts and one of only two in existence. Sean D. Tucker has the other, with some further modifications. He named his the Oracle Challenger III.

With four ailerons that span almost the entire length of the wings, the Wolf Pitts has a dizzying roll rate of over 360 degs per second! It is truly a unique aircraft designed for one purpose – aerobatics!
