He says “though I do not serve in the aviation industry, aviation is in my blood and has been my hobby since childhood”.
Taurian World School, was honoured to have Charles Davis visit the school campus on 3rd November, 2015 to share and enthuse all students and teachers by flying one of his Trainers and 3D aerobatic model which is difficult to handle and fly especially at his age.
However, he has been horning his skills since childhood and put up a good display of aerobatic manoeuvres including loops, rolls, inverted flights, touch and go, low and fast inverted passes, etc. which is otherwise very difficult to control from the field trying to imagine one is sitting in the cockpit. These skills are in high demand by the Army and he also helps the NCC and army when he finds the time.
