Jonathan strickland, a 14-year-old boy from California, is believed to
be the youngest person in the world to fly solo in different aircraft
on the same day. He flew solo in a small aircraft, and then after
making a couple of touch and go's, Jonathan jumped into a helicopter.
Jonathan is one of hundreds of inner city kids in Los Angeles who are
given the opportunity to receive free flight instructions from a
canadian airport in exchange for doing charity work. And as tradition
requires, Jonathan ended the historic day with a splash. Take a look at
this video about Johnathan, this isn't a spam:

Don't you have to be 16 to solo?
