Cástor Fantoba makes a superb aerobatic flight display with his Sukhoi Su-26M at Festa al Cel 2018 airshow in the airport of Lleida-Alguaire! Born in Pamplona in 1966, Cástor holds a Degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Madrid’s Universidad Politécnica. After working for several years in aircraft maintenance, his passion for aviation led him to become a pilot. He currently holds a Commercial Pilot’s License with Boeing 737, 757 and 767 ratings and is also a firefighting pilot. He is a flight instructor and a member of the Spanish National Acrobatic Team since 1999. He won his first National Championship in 2002. European Champion in 2014, double bronze medal in the 2015 World Championship, 6 times Spanish Overall Champion and officially recognized as a High-Level Sportsman (DAN) by Spain’s National Sports Council since 2005. He has won more than 40 medals for Spain over the course of his sporting career, obtaining six top-category medals in a single competition (EAC 2014). Cástor flies on the Sukhoi Su-26M, deemed to be the best aerobatic airplane in the world. With 400 HP and weighing just 700 kg, it still rules the skies today despite having made its first flight in 1984! With more power and traction than any other, the only real problem with this aircraft is coming to learn to tame the BEAST. Few manage it, but for those that do, the boundaries and limitations of the sky disappear... :) Castor's Sporting Highlights: Overall Spanish Champion 2002, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 2016 Bronze Medal, Freestyle, European Championship Bronze Medal in the Classic Free Program, European Championship 2015 Bronze Medal, World Championship Bronze Medal Freestyle, World Championship Silver Medal in the Classic Free Program, World Championship 2014 European Unlimited Overall Champion Gold Medal Known programme Bronze Medal Free programme Silver Medal Unknown programme 1 Bronze Medal Unknown programme 2 Team Bronze Medal 2011 Champion FAI Desert Challenge Second place HC, Freestyle, World Championship Runner-up, China Aerobatic Challenge 2010 Absolute Champion, Sebring Aerobatic Championships (USA) Bronze Medal, Al Ain Aerobatic Airshow Third Place Team HC, European Championship Bronze Medal, China Aerobatic Challenge 2009 Champion, FAI World Elite Aerobatic Formula Bronze Medal, China Aerobatic Challenge 2008 Silver Medal Freestyle, European Championship Silver Medal, FAI Grand Prix.
