The pilot of a Pitts Special S2S aerobatic aircraft defied gravity by flying the airplane like it was a helicopter.

YouTube footage from Topfelya showed the aircraft flown by Richard Goowdwin at the Dunsfold Wing and Wheels airshow in 2018.

Goodwin flew the aircraft sideways, spun it around mid-air, and performed incredible rolls and loops.

It might be small, but the Pitts is a very impressive and agile display aircraft.
