Five-Year-Old in China Latest Child "Pilot"

Posted by Anup Baral January 01, 2015 :


A five-year old Chinese boy has launched himself into the record books as the world's youngest pilot by flying a plane unassisted.The boy nicknamed Duoduo, flew a total 47 minutes in two flights around the Beijing Wildlife Zoo in Gu'an county, Hebei province, on Saturday afternoon, according to his father, He Liesheng. Duoduo`s father was nicknamed “Eagle Dad” because of his strict parenting methods and has prompted debates over his style of parenting. "He`s education style is worth learning, but not every child is suitable for it," the Global Times quoted Gu Li, the director of a learning research centre in Nanjing, as saying. The feat followed Duoduo's 20 days of flight lessons at a private club.
