The author
Simon
Lemmerer
Simon grew up in the heart of Austria in a family of aviation enthusiasts, where he discovered his interest in aviation as a child. Although this passion was sparked at a young age, he did not obtain his glider pilot's license until he was 26 years old. Following that, beginning in 2010, he flew his own Standard Libelle over the majestic Eastern Alps. His first major victory came in 2014, when he was named Austrian national champion in cross-country flying, a title he successfully defended several times over the next few years.
