“Malibu” Chuck Aaron is the first – and only – civilian pilot ever to be licensed to perform helicopter aerobatics in the United States. In fact, he’s one of only three pilots permitted to execute the dangerous maneuvers internationally. In his one-of-a-kind Red Bull Helicopter, Chuck performs a breathtaking air show choreography including backflips, 360-degree rolls, and a heart-stopping tumble called the Chuckcilvak.
