Matt Chapman

Matt Chapman started flying in 1979, now has over 14,000 hours of flying time and has a career flying for American Airlines. He began aerobatics in 1984 and quickly worked his way up to the highest level of competition aerobatics, Unlimited. Recognized for his skills, he won one of only five slots on the U.S. Unlimited Men's Aerobatics Team in 1996 and 1998.

At the Slovakian in 1998, Matt was the highest ranking American pilot, finishing 3rd in the World with a bronze medal and leading the U.S. Men's Team to a silver medal. Along with his impressive finish comes the coveted Hillard Trophy, awarded to the highest finishing U.S. pilot at the WAC.

Matt also won the prestigious IAC Championships in 1994 and the Fond du Lac Cup in 1995.
