00:00 You won't believe it, the youngest European airline pilot is only 18 years old.

00:04 It was Gary Clandry, a Guadeloupean aviation enthusiast, who made this achievement.

00:09 Since he was a child, he watched the planes take off from his room and drew planes.

00:13 He even chose math and physics in high school to prepare for a career in aviation.

00:18 At 17, he got his private pilot's license and was able to skip the usual two years of preparatory classes

00:24 to go to the National Aviation School. Impressive, isn't it?

00:28 To finance his training at the Aérofutur school in Perpignan, his peers invested 100,000 euros.

00:34 They were there to support him during his qualifying flight.

00:37 His qualifying flight between Perpignan and Béziers was a real test of competence.

00:41 Gary had to face emergency scenarios like an engine failure, a high-angle turn and even a drop.

00:48 But he brilliantly succeeded.

00:50 His goal for the future? To become a business or airline pilot, maybe even pilot an A350.
