Our thanks to Richard C. “Trey” Darcey, III for providing this image to us. Trey is the son of the late Mr. Darcey, pictured above, who said that when Curtis Pitts saw the cockpit he thought it looked like a lounge chair! Unfortunately, not long after this photo was taken, Mr. Darcey passed away in to a cropduster accident, and this Pitts was lost in a fatal accident in Highgrove, CA in Sept. 1974 when the pilot hit the ground during aerobatics.
