Virtual Event: What’s It Like to Invent a New Aviation Sport?
Key Takeaways:
- Kevin Quinn, an ex-pro hockey player and pilot, founded the High Sierra Fly-In – a large-scale backcountry aviation gathering akin to "Burning Man" – and invented STOL Drag, a skill-intensive short takeoff and landing competition.
- Both the High Sierra Fly-In and STOL Drag have evolved from informal gatherings into well-organized, FAA-accredited events that promote advanced piloting skills and foster a vibrant aviation community.
