Jonathan strickland, a 14-year-old boy from California, is believed to
be the youngest person in the world to fly solo in different aircraft
on the same day. He flew solo in a small aircraft, and then after
making a couple of touch and go's, Jonathan jumped into a helicopter.
Jonathan is one of hundreds of inner city kids in Los Angeles who are
given the opportunity to receive free flight instructions from a
canadian airport in exchange for doing charity work. And as tradition
requires, Jonathan ended the historic day with a splash. Take a look at
this video about Johnathan, this isn't a spam:

Don't you have to be 16 to solo?

He did both solos in Canada where the age limit is 14. HIs training
up til now has been in Los Angeles. He only went to Canada, with
his instructor, to do the solos. They didn't say anything about
where, when or how his pilot's certificate will be issued when he
finishes all the other requirements.
