It was a momentous day back on 20 April 2011 when 16 year old student Morgan Vidler became Australia's unofficial youngest pilot to fly solo in a chopper.

Morgan began training at Becker Helicopters at the tender age of 14, logging his first training flight of 1.0 hour back in April 2010. Since then Morgan spends almost every school holidays and work experience time studying his theory and flying at the school. He has flown over 22 hours now. Great work Morgan.
