An 11-year-old pilot-in-training is winning hearts online after a video of his smooth “touch and go” landing during a training flight in California went viral. The video offers a glimpse into a journey that began when he was just seven.
The young aviator, Rishi, is seen confidently guiding the aircraft during a practice session at Oxnard Airport. The manoeuvre, known as a “touch and go,” involves landing briefly on the runway before taking off again, a fundamental yet skill-intensive part of pilot training.
The video captures Rishi bringing the aircraft down steadily on runway 25, earning praise from the instructor. “Very good landing,” a voice can be heard saying, as the young trainee maintains focus and control. Moments later, the sequence continues, power is increased, flaps are adjusted, and the aircraft is back in the air, completing the exercise smoothly.
