Gene Soucy is an American aerobatic pilot who grew up in Kentucky, the son of two pilots. As a boy he washed airplanes at a local airport in exchange for flight time, soloed a glider at age 14 and flew a powered airplane solo at 16. He began flying professionally in airshows in 1968, and in 1972 qualified for the United States aerobatic team. That year he was the youngest competitor at the World championships in England, where he placed sixth overall and contributed to the first World championship won by the United States team.
