Elliot Seguin Of Scaled Composites Talks About Union College

 Elliot Seguin is still under 30 but he's living a pretty cool aerospace/aviation life. He's working for Scaled Composites as a project engineer and flight test engineer, and he's racing his own Formula One aircraft (Wasabi Air Racing) on the side at Reno. I've known Elliot for a couple years now and it's just great to see a passionate, enthusiastic young guy working hard to make cool things happen in the sky.

 This very well produced video gives a little insight into the drive and dedication Elliot exhibited in getting into Scaled. It's actually a promo fro Union College where Elliot got his education. I don't get out much, so as it turns out I didn't know of Union College, but knowing Elliot like I do, if he says it's a great school, I believe him. The video also gives that all important advice of how important it is to persevere in chasing after the things you want. If you're young and seeking an aerospace or aviation based life, put your head down and go for it... and don't give up til you get there!

 You might enjoy checking out my podcasts number 5 and number 7 - both are with Elliot and cover some of his Scaled experiences and air racing... including some interesting details in number 7 about the engine failures he encountered at Reno in 2009. And if you're looking for some info on some of the cool stuff happening lately at Scaled, check out the AirPigz Scaled Composites category. Yeehaw!
