Bremont & Michael Goulian Aerosports
Bremont are delighted to announce a partnership with the aerobatic
air-show super-star Michael Goulian. Bremont Co-Founders, Nick and
Giles English, have a passion for the sky that was passed down to them
from their late father, Euan, an aero-nautical engineer and display
pilot. On the other side of the Atlantic, the same passion was being
passed down to Michael from his father.
Michael’s father
Myron, began his aviation career by working at the local airport in
Haverhill, Massachusetts at only 13 years of age. Myron soloed on his
16th birthday and received his Private Pilot Certificate on his 17th
birthday. In the 1950s, Myron earned his living by flying his Stearman
Bi-Plane as a crop duster and aerobatic pilot in Massachusetts and New
York, and then in 1964, Myron started a flying school with his wife and
Michael’s mother, Rita. Located just outside Boston, the school grew
from a small flying school with just a few planes into one of the
largest and most historic flying companies in the Northeast United
States. Myron lived and breathed aviation until his passing in 2000.
With
a passion for aerobatic flying and a responsibility to run the family
business, Michael was always pushing the limits to be able to succeed at
both. And succeed he did. Michael was fortunate to have won the US
National Advanced Championship in 1990 and then in 1995, he went on to
win the Unlimited National Championship and competed on three US World
Aerobatic Teams.
In 2006, Michael was invited to join the
elite group of Red Bull Air Race World Championship pilots. For 5 years,
he competed globally in the World Championship Series, winning the
prestigious Budapest race in 2009.
Michael currently enjoys a
full time career in the air show industry flying 20 shows per year
across North America. He is also one of only seven pilots to have been
awarded all three of the air show industries most prestigious awards;
the Art Scholl Memorial (2006), Showmanship Award, and the Bill Barber
Award for Showmanship (2009), and the ICAS Sword of Excellence (2012).
The
mechanical precision of the Bremont watch is directly aligned with
precision of Michael’s aerobatic flying. His ‘brand’ is focused on his
extremely precise maneuvers in the sky – which comes from his
competitive flying heritage.
Goulian’s eye for mechanical detail did not end with his choice of aircraft – the watch on his wrist was equally important, and the continued growth of Bremont in US aviation circles over the past five years in particular did not go unnoticed.
