We've been big fans of this young man's work since his video about Oshkosh 2009 went viral. I'm proud to know Wes - he's in his early 20s now, and, in addition to flying his own Piper Clipper and Pitts Special, is in the US Navy, headed for pilot training this fall.

Worried about the future of aviation? Watch this and worry a little less.



(And enjoy the cameo appearance by yours truly at 5:12...)
