Our latest sponsorship Europe’s premier aerobatic pair the Trig Aerobatic Team
We are delighted to announce our latest sponsorship collaboration with the acclaimed Pitts Pair Aerobatic Display Team, this season they will be displaying as the Trig Aerobatic Team.
Piloting their liveried Pitts Special S-1D biplanes at air shows and fly-in events across Europe, Richard Grace, son of celebrated Spitfire display pilots Carolyn and Nick Grace, flies with team mate Dave Puleston. The pair promise to delight crowds with a routine to match their new look Trig branded aircraft. Richard said, “We are really excited to have the support of Trig Avionics who recognise the value of general aviation and are passionate about flying”, “Our aircraft are particularly significant, private pilots can learn aerobatics in a Pitts aircraft, so the Trig Aerobatic Team will act as a genuine inspiration to others to take to the skies”.
Both aircraft will be equipped with our TT22 Mode S
transponders.
Small and compact, these avionics are perfectly suited to the Pitts and
well proven in this tough environment where Richard and Dave routinely
pull gravitational forces of +6G. Dave Puleston admits that the teams
outside negative G manoeuvres which subject man and machine
to
-4G “are not the easiest of aerobatic display figures after
lunch”.
Andy Davis, CEO at Trig said “We are pleased to support
Richard
and Dave, it’s clear that their professionalism and pursuit
of
first class aerobatic display flying mirrors Trig’s own
desire to
provide all pilots with the best quality and affordable avionics to
enhance flight safety and flying pleasure”.
You can follow the team’s progress throughout the season on
Richard and Dave’s exclusive Trig Aerobatic Team blog, (this
will
be activated as we approach the display season in the spring).
Right now the team are busy organising this season’s show programme. They will begin practicing their new routine once both aircraft complete their winter servicing programme, and following installation of their TT22 transponders.
