Meet the Wolf Pitts S2-S. Once flown by American airshow legend Sean D. Tucker, it’s an iconic aircraft that’s been built into something special: full Wolf wings, plus Wolf cowl, canopy, tail and undercarriage. All powered by a fire-breathing Lycon-built Lycoming 540 up front and a Hartzell prop. It will be permanently based in the US for our growing North American program.
Its famous stablemate, Tucker’s Oracle Challenger III, now hangs in the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. This one’s got a different future ahead: repainted in an inverted livery to Paul’s Wolf Pitts Pro, this piece of airshow history is back where it belongs - tearing up the skies, now with Australia’s premier aerobatic ace at the controls.
