	Top Gun in Just a Year! Steve Wood’s multiple world record flights in 2007 have really made him a ‘Top Gun’ pilot in more ways than one. Flying in formation just like the Red Arrows is something Steve does regularly, the smoke trail from his airplane, Spirit of Endeavour, adds to the fun as does the airplane’s registration N-600FY, which looks just like ‘GOOFY’ But it’s in setting aviation world records that Steve is Top Gun!

Steve has set a massive total of 90 solo international FAI World Speed Records - 77 of these in a single year - a record in itself. With 90 world records officially ratified Steve is:

No. 1 in the World for the most aviation world records ever set by a British pilot in any type of flying machine
No. 1 in the World for the number of world records set by a pilot of any nationality flying a homebuilt aircraft (records complying with the FAI 2008 Sporting Code rules)
No. 1 in the World for world records set to / from The Bahamas
No. 1 in the UK for the most aeroplane world records ever set in a single year
No. 1 in the World for the most world records ever set in a US registered homebuilt aircraft
The first British pilot to fly a homebuilt aircraft around the ‘four corners’ of the USA - 3 times!

Steve has also smashed a 56 year old record for the most FAI aeroplane world records set by a British pilot in a single year. The previous record of 27 records was set by T W Hayhow in 1952, flying an Auster Aiglet. Even the legendary Sheila Scott set only 23 world records in a single year back in 1967, so Steve’s 90 world records beats this by a huge margin!
