The Pitts Model 14 is announced at Oshkosh, with intense interest shown in Curtis' latest design. The fuselage is displayed and we display computer renderings of how it will look. This website is launched simultaneously, and is well received.

July 30, 2003: The Model 14 prototype proves a popular attraction at Steen's booth at AirVenture.
|
|
|
|
There were large throngs of people around the booth for most of the week. They were asking a lot of good questions about the Model 14 and our other products as well. Oshkosh is always a great chance to visit with old friends and make new ones!
