Aaron Fitzgerald Surprises New Yorkers With Impromptu Performance

Onlookers Were Treated To Flips, Barrel Rolls And Nose Dives By A Helicopter

Aerobatics pilot and former U.S Serviceman Aaron Fitzgerald chose the open space of the Hudson River in New York to stun onlookers with a wide range of helicopter tricks.

According to the Red Bull content pool, Fitzgerald performed the flips, barrel rolls and nose dives in front of the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park and alongside the West Side Highway. HeThe pilot chose the unique practice course in preparation for the Memorial Day Weekend’s Bethpage Air Show.

The Red Bull helicopter is able to perform the tricks through the use of a unique titanium rotor. It allows Fitzgerald to reverse the airflow through the rotor without damaging anything, ensuring he can safely execute the maneuvers.

Spectators in the area at the same time were surprised to look up and witness the high-skilled aerial flight happening in their own backyard.

Fitzgerald is a medal of Valor recipient and spends the majority of his time flying for the film and television industry. He is in the U.S Army's 82nd Airborne Division, and began flight training in 1994. The pilot has performed and filmed for over 100 films and TV shows.

He is also proficient in utility flying in mountainous terrain and offshore support, and has flown in flight test programs for NASA

Fitzgerald was introduced to helicopter aerobatics in 2017, joined the Flying Bulls that same year.
