Red Baron Pitts S2ARed Baron operates the Pitts Special S2A competition aerobatic aircraft and the Robin 2160/ Alpha 160 aerobatic trainer.

The Pitts S2A bi-plane was designed by Curtis Pitts in 1949 and has been a favourite for both competition and sport pilots ever since. The Pitts is rated fully aerobatic with structural limits of +6G and -3G and is the aircraft of choice for many national and international, top ranked aerobatic pilots including Red Bull Air Race Pilot Paul Bonhome.

The Robin 2160/ Alpha 160 is a French designed low wing monoplane, with two seats, a big bubble canopy and control sticks, not steering wheels. It has an excellent power to weight ratio and the crisp handling of a sports car. The Robin/Alpha is powered by a 160HP engine, cruises at 120kts and climbs at 1000 ft/min. It is capable of all 'standard' aerobatic manoeuvres and is, without a doubt, the most robust and manoeuvrable aerobatic training aircraft in Australia. In May 2007 the first Alpha 160 in Australia went online at Red Baron Flight Training alongside our two hardworking Robins. Two more are scheduled for delivery in late 2007.
