World’s Youngest Competition Pilot !? 

YES, this is legal. :)
14 year old me would NOT have pulled this off!
I’d have LOVED to get the chance to enter #GeneralAviation at such a young age,
but I have to admit, I wasn’t ready to avail myself of the chance; even if it was presented to me, I'd probably have screwed it up.
Having met Adam and seeing how hard he works, and the level of responsibility he exudes, it is clear “Luck” does not apply to his situation.
As I say in the video, “Luck” = Preparation AND Opportunity being in alignment
- You need BOTH to be successful at any endeavour.

Aaron contributed the following when I asked him for a “blurb” to add to this video description:
“This one is NOT about me.
The fact I’m coaching heavy-hitters from Canada is more relevant than my personal resume.
Regardless, here are some resume highlights:
- 3x US National Aerobatic Champion (1x Intermediate, 2x Advanced)
- 2x Member of the US Aerobatic Team
- CIVA Gold Medalist (world championships, 2018)
- Coach for Canadian Advanced Aerobatic Team
Regarding the grassroots aspect of this episode - IMHO, Primary/Sportsman are the most important categories.
At our contests, people always want to ‘see the show’ when Unlimited launches,
but it’s far more important for the up-and-comers to get their shot in the ring.
Even recreational competitors; that’s where the heart of our sport exists.”
If you’d like to look into receiving some awesome coaching (at ANY level), reach out to Aaron!

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial.
I have had my PPL for over 20 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve....
Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable.
I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.
Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
