Flying Upside Down: How Chuck Aaron Created Helicopter Aerobatics
5:00 PM PDT
Online

Register at: airandspace.si.edu/events/flying-upside-down

Since 1972, helicopter pilot Chuck Aaron has had an amazingly diverse career. He is best known as a pioneer of helicopter aerobatic demonstrations and for his work as a stunt pilot, including in the 2015 James Bond movie Spectre. In 21,000 hours of flying, he has piloted an astounding array of helicopter types in challenging operations around the world. In 2006, after extensively modifying a BO.105 helicopter and working closely with the FAA and sponsor Red Bull, Aaron debuted the first approved helicopter aerobatic demonstration in the United States.

Discover Aaron’s story firsthand at the first GE Aviation lecture of 2022, which will take place June 21 at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, and live on YouTube.
