Craft in the Box: A Wolf Pitts Pro Works AirVenture's Sky

AVweb's picture of the day for September 3 shows a Wolf Pitts Pro performing aerobatics at AirVenture, the annual gathering that draws the aviation industry's attention. The image freezes the airplane mid-maneuver against open sky, the kind of frame that only comes from a pilot holding a line precisely enough to be caught by a lens. It is a single photograph, not a routine described blow-by-blow — one aircraft, one moment, chosen by AVweb's editors as worth a second look. For an audience whose own flying hours run several classes removed from an aerobatic box, it is a reminder that the skill set at that end of the logbook still shares a ramp with everyone else's.
