  • Charles "Chuck" Aaron (call sign "Malibu") is one of a handful of pilots licensed by the FAA to perform aerobatics in a helicopter in the United States, and one of only four such pilots in the world. In 1980, Aaron worked on the air rescue program for NASA's Space Shuttle, and he founded his own company, FX Helicopters in Westlake Village, California in 1997. Aaron announced his retirement from the airshow circuit in 2015 and made his last performance for Red Bull at the November 2015 Red Bull Air Race World Championship in Las Vegas. Aaron is also an experienced test pilot, having test-flown a TADS/PNVS Missile Guidance System for the Boeing AH-64 Apache; and an infrared vision system as the first helicopter pilot to deliberately fly into known brownout conditions to test the MAX VIZ IR camera. He is also an FAA certificated Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic, and has assembled many helicopters, including TAH-1F Cobras from surplus parts. Aaron performed aerobatic maneuvers—loop, roll, vertical climb, Split S, Cuban Eight, Immelman, and "Chuckcevak" (modified Lomcovak)—at air shows and other demonstrations in an MBB Bo 105, with proprietary modifications invented by Aaron, that allow it to perform maneuvers previously impossible for helicopters. This was featured in the opening sequence of the James Bond film Spectre. He once served as Chief Pilot and Director of A&P Maintenance for the Red Bull N.A. One of Aaron's TAH-1F Cobras is flown on the European air show circuit, by "The Flying Bulls". It was heavily damaged/destroyed by the R.B. European pilot in an accident in May 2017. In 2019, Aaron opened a helicopter aerobatics flight school based at Concord Regional Airport. (en)
