Voice it - George Seppelt: Australia's youngest Chief Flying Instructor
Description
Today you’ll get to meet the youngest Chief Flying Instructor in Australia.
George Seppelt. Well one of the youngest, another bloke is about to cut his lunch apparently!
At the prime age of 15, before he could even drive independently, he had his restricted pilot’s licence. By the time he was 22, he was a fully-fledged flying instructor in the mid north of South Australia.George always had a goal of getting his commercial pilot’s licence and being a Flying Doctor, but he’s had few speed bumps and obstacles along the way.
You'll hear about the chance encounter with the current Australian aerobatic champion who ignited his flying passion, George's health scare that literally grounded him for eight months, and how his flying mentor became paralysed after crashing his plane but amazingly learnt to walk again. You'll hear about his mid-air challenging moments, but also the wins with teaching people how to fly.
His big love these days is electric aeroplanes, and being one of 12 people in Australia that knows how to fly one. This guy keeps on kicking goals, and I'm excited to see what he does next. Enjoy this inspirational journey with George.
