Red Bull pilot, Kevin Coleman

Kevin Coleman knew from an early age that he was meant to fly. Growing up in a family of doctors, aviation wasn’t the expected path—but his father’s passion for flying sparked a dream that would shape Kevin’s future. Determined to help his son pursue it, he connected Kevin with some of the top names in aerobatics, including legendary barnstormer Marion Cole, who began training Kevin when he was just 10 years old.

By the age of 16, Kevin completed his first solo flight—before he even had a driver’s license. His talent and dedication quickly caught the attention of some of the best in the sport, and he later refined his skills under the mentorship of Kirby Chambliss, eventually joining Chambliss’ Red Bull Air Race team in 2016 as one of the youngest pilots in the field.

Today, Kevin Coleman performs around the world as part of the elite Red Bull Air Force, thrilling audiences with high-energy aerobatic routines and precision flying that pushes both pilot and aircraft to the limit.

When he’s not in the cockpit, Coleman enjoys spending time outdoors hunting and fishing, and relaxing with his wife and young daughter. But when it’s time to fly, his focus is simple—deliver a world-class performance and leave crowds in awe.
