| Michael started flying gliders when
he was 11 years old. He soloed in an airplane on his grandfather's
farm when he was only 13 years old! What else would you expect
a 13 year old to do in an airplane up there all by himself
than to teach himself aerobatics?
By the time Michael was 18 years old, he had his commercial
pilots license and was off to a successful aerobatic competition
in 1998 to join the Northern Lights Aerobatic Team. He stayed
with the world famous, award winning team until their retirement
in 2000.
2007 will be Michael's 10th year as
a full time air show superstar! In addition to the solo show
he is now so well known for, Michael has combined forces with
Matt Chapman to create 2 ship
formation aerobatic routine that is the stuff legends are
made of! Michael is also a member of the
Screen Actors Guild and is looking forward to a career as
a major motion picture stunt pilot.
When Michael is not flying airshows,
he is home on Long Island at his family owned Mid Island Flying
School www.midislandair.com.
