Chuck Aaron, the only pilot licensed by the FAA to perform aerobatics in a helicopter in the U.S., will be available to meet and greet HAI attendees during an autograph session that Aspen Avionics is hosting from 1-2 p.m. on Wednesday March 2. The session will be held at Aspen Avionics Booth 9235.
Aaron has entertained helicopter aerobatics fans in a modified MBB Bo 105, performing acrobatic moves that included loops, rolls, vertical climbs, Split S’s, Cuban Eights, Immelmans and his version of a Lomcavak (a “Cuckcevak”).
A retired Red Bull pilot, he was the first helicopter pilot honored with the Art Scholl Showmanship Award presented by the International Council of Air Shows in 2009. “HAI is like a family reunion for me,” he said, adding, “I’m looking forward to seeing all my old friends and making new ones.”
