Australia's youngest female pilot Jade Esler flies solo at 15
She's too young to drive a car, but Jade Esler is Australia's youngest female pilot. The year 9 student made her maiden solo flight at Fly Oz school in Cowra on her 15th birthday last week. (www.smh.com.au) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Good Show!
Congratulations!!! Good for her!! She's also an entrepreneur, paying for her own lessons!!! She also must have great parents!!!! A nice story!! Best of luck in her aviation career!!!!
I agree completely. Doing it on her own and at $300 an hour! I guess in 40 years $300 an hour will look as cheap as the J-3 I rented at North Perry for $8 an hour - wet. I wish her the best in her life and career.
Whoo Hoooo
Congrats
Not raining on anyone's parade here, but you could be the youngest pilot anywhere if you solo at the minimum age. Also student, not pilot...
Let the down-votes begin!!!

Did you solo on your fifteenth birthday? Self funded? If not two "yes"s, then just quietly back away from the keyboard.
Sure, but at an age where most kids are hanging out with friends and playing video games, getting to first solo is quite an accomplishment and shows a lot of maturity and drive. Good for her!
