The person could have been the child of a MP team that had a gyrocopter pilot. In B&B the KFS has captured a Science One vehicle. The pilot of the gyrocopter might have escaped initial capture by the SP. Survivor starts a family and begins to teach child the basics of piloting (using mock ups and wooden/paper airplane models). A decade later he and his family are captured by slavers and sold to the KFS. Father dies and because of the child's "aptitude" toward the mechanics of flight the child becomes a mechanic for a retired R5 pilot that has a personal civilian airplane. Several years pass then one morning, after a drunken, rowdy reunion of former pilots in the master's squadron, the slave and plane are gone having flown to the east. A few days later the plane is strafed on the ground by T-bolts from the KFS. The distance precludes a surface action to apprehend the ex-slave. So the child has aircraft piloting skill of 10-15 or so, primarily in small, civilian, general aviation IC airplanes, single engine monoplanes.
