Youngest 'pilot' steals limelight at air show


Thrissur: Aditya Pawar, all of seven years, likes 'to fly' when his friends play video games. The class II student from Bangalore was the first Indian to participate in the world championship for flying radio-controlled aircraft in the United States. The youngest 'pilot' in India came to Thrissur to participate in an air show at Punkunnam Vidya Mandir School on Saturday. And he enthralled the audience by flying a life-like model of NF2070 aircraft at a height of 1,000 feet. Though there were other participants who demonstrated their skills at the air show organized by Aero-Sports, Aditya stole the show.
Aditya, the eldest son of Abhay and Asha Pawar, picked up his hobby only eight months ago. "Abhay likes to fly radio-controlled aircraft and Aditya loved the experience. The problem in Bangalore is that there are no open spaces for flying such model aicraft and we have to travel 35 km away from town to find space," said Asha.
