There's a guy in Sussex NJ (Jim Chaduon?) who gives spin and other acro
training in a Pitts and a Decathlon. The name of the flight school is
Airbatix, or something like that.
It's probably further than you wanted to travel; Sussex is about as far
from BWI as you can get and still be in NJ :-)

I've flown with Bill many times and consider him to be one the best
instructors I've ever flown with, as well as one of the most experienced
aerobatic pilots in the country. He competes in the Advanced category at
International Aerobatic Club contests and if you're interested, he'll
introduce you to spin modes that you don't even know exist! :)
And.......the Pitts is a ride you won't forget!

As an alternative, try Nancy Lynn at Bay Bridge
Airport (W29). Nancy is a competition acrobatic pilot
who gives instruction in an Extra 300!

Bill Finagin of Dent-Air at Annapolis (ANP). He trains in a Pitts S-2B. He's
an excellent instructor. His rates are more than you'll pay to spin in a
C-152 Aerobat, but in the time you climb to altitude in an Aerobat you'll
already have learned to spin the Pitts.

The only problem with Nancy Lynn is her attitude. When I last talked to her
about doing spin training, she made it quite clear that she teaches
competition aerobatics. If you get training from her, you get it in that
context. For someone who wants to learn something about spins and has no
interest in competition aerobatics this attitude is a hinderance, not a
benefit.
Perhaps she's changed her attitude since then, but it'd be worth asking
first.

I know and have flown with Nancy. She is a protege of Bill's and also
very good.
Another possibility is Sport Aviation at Van Sant, PA. (Just across the
river from Frenchtown, NJ. I don't have their # handy, but it is in the
Aerodrome/Facilities directory (I think it's called?).) They have a Cub,
Champ, Decathlon and 150 aerobat to choose from. (There's a great
Stearman, too, but I think you would probably want to wait for spring
for that one.) The instructors there all seem really good.
Have fun wherever you choose, rick
