Deng Lei wants to become a pilot and has started learning the ropes at a young age.

The 16-year-old high school student has flown a plane to an altitude of 305 meters, making him one of the youngest Chinese to fly an aircraft.

After months of academic study, about 30 students from Beijing No 57 Middle School have been spending their summer vacation undergoing pilot training. They are expected to receive their pilot licenses soon.
