Skip Stewart is one of the most entertaining Airshow pilots in the country. He has nearly
8,000 hours of flying experience, is an airline transport pilot, certified flight instructor,
has owned and operated an aerobatic flight school, competed in regional aerobatic
competitions, worked as a chief pilot for a fortune 100 company
and has spent more than 6 years entertaining airshow fans. His show has been
described as a "hard-hitting, brake dancing, rock-and roll blow out.

Prometheus, the flying machine, is part Pitts Special and the rest Skip and Christina Stewart.
Starting life as a Pitts S-25, Prometheus was modified to give Skip the airshow machine he wanted.
It looks like a good old American hot rod. The horse power was increased to 400, the big
three bladed prop reminds one of oversized racing slicks. The rear canted landing gear makes it look
fast sitting on the ground and the paint job yealls "Street Rod." She has a climb rate of 4000 FPM,
max speed of 197 MPH, stall speed of 58 MPH, and a range of 405 miles. This is an all muscle bi-plane.
