Charles "Chuck" Aaron

Charles P. Aaron has been flying helicopters for more than three decades. If it moves at all under rotary wing power, it is a virtual certainty that Aaron has flown it, most likely has instructed in it and may have even helped build it! The helicopter skills you’ll see in Red Bull’s amazing flying exhibitions are the direct result of Aaron’s spectacular montage of career accomplishments. For example he was the NASA pilot in charge of Space Shuttle Air Rescue Program located at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At the other end of the spectrum he’s also been a crop duster, towed banners, and reported traffic. Every opportunity Charles “Chuck”Aaron could come up with that put him in a helicopter, he took. And when he wasn’t flying them, was fixing them as a certified airframe and power plant mechanic.
