Q-Dog is really flying now!

[Doc Zoom]

Quay Painter (Q-Dog) soloed two airplanes on his 16th birthday, both a single engine and a twin engine! He did this with only 12 hours total flying time!
Quay wants to be a pilot in the military and he is off to a great start!
He now has a year to complete the rest of his training in both planes so on his 17th birthday he will be a full blown single and multi engine pilot.

Quay will also be piloting the new "Ultimate Ski Doo" and wants to be the youngest person to climb Monster!

Here's the article the local newspaper did on him:

A couple of video's I put together of his flights:

Congratulations Quay, single and a twin in 1 day with 12 hours total time.....Holy crap! Just remember Greg flying still costs more than sledding and it's very very addictive. we will see you soon!

 

[Red Dog]

Congrats Quay, keep up the great work, you'll make one hell of a combat Pilot.Cheers Red Dog.

 

[Double A]

Way to go! My bro did the same thing. Now he's a Colonel in the USAF and retiring at the age of 44. Lucky Dog!

Congratulations and keep at it!

I know I've saw it but doesn't mean gregs going to let him take it over monster quay will prob ride his dragon or the hcr

 

[Doc Zoom]

No, Quay will be slaying Monster with the Doo, this ain't gonna be no wimp sled that just looks pretty at the bottom of the hill! He has some the of best riders in the industry giving him pointers. It would be kinda cool to see him tackle Monster on the stock HCR and maybe even the Turbo 700 IQ, makes for more of a challenge! Have to wait and see!

As a guy working on his pilots license, thats pretty impressive. Better get that kid in a helicopter then he'll have his pick on what he wants to do. Congrats Quay and good luck.

u should have quay try the arm or the gash, monster isnt even that heard from what i hear

 

[Doc Zoom]

trust me, if you ever stood at the top of Monster and looked down you would crap...its steep. Irmens Arm and Gibbs Gash...thats a whole nother story!
Quay can get some more chutes under his belt before he tries these!
Only the BEST riders in the world have tackled those chutes!
Up in Revy now to put the new "Ultimate Doo" to the test!

Congrats Q-dog on the solo's. Only 12 hrs and soloing both single & twins. Didn't know one could solo a twin with just 12 hrs total time. Props to you!
