This is a production two-place aircraft built in 1980 to an Approved Type Certificate. Please see my earlier photos of this aircraft with different owners. Aerotek also built a production single place Pitts biplane to another Approved Type Certificate. Apparently, you may have been confused by a re-registration shown in the current FAA registration data.
There were at least five different production manufacturers of the Pitts biplane designs built to ATCs.
These are entirely separate from Curtis Pitts' Experimental Class biplane designs.
