Matt Hall

Matt Hall (born 16 September 1971 in Merewether, Newcastle, Australia) is a third generation pilot, a former Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Fighter Combat (Top Gun) Instructor, international unlimited aerobatic competitor and the first Australian to be selected to compete in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, starting in 2009.

Flying history

Hall has a long flying history, having started flying with his father at an early age. He is a third generation pilot, his grandfather having flown in World War II.

Hall's first solo flight was at age 15 in a glider, and he gained his aircraft pilot's licence at the age of 18. He is licensed in gliders, ultra-lights and hang gliders, and has had one parachute jump. He has more than 4,000 hours in various aircraft types, including over 700 in light aircraft and over 500 doing aerobatics. As these flights are often only 20–30 minutes, he has many more takeoffs and landings. Hall has over 300 hours in his airshow display aircraft, the Giles G-202, and is exploring the limits of both himself and this aircraft.
