If you are just sitting on the wing, do you have a "cockpit"? Doesn't "pit" mean anything anymore?

I did a loop in a T21 years ago. VNE then pull up. Half a field floating around the bottom of the cockpit went up my nose when we had negative G at the top. A bit eiry with very low airspeed, upside down and nothing between my head and the ground but 2000ft of air Nigel
