Yoyo Chen Flies with HKPAPA: Meet “Captain Yo”

We were delighted to welcome Hong Kong actress Yoyo Chen to HKPAPA as a celebrity student pilot. Her flight with us brought together the excitement of trying something new and the concentration of learning in an aircraft, with an instructor alongside her.

A new role, a real aircraft

Known to television audiences for her work on screen, Yoyo shared a different kind of experience with her followers. Her photographs capture moments beside the aircraft and in the cockpit, wearing a headset and a high-visibility vest. Her playful introduction — “Call me captain Yo” — set the tone for a post full of excitement.

In her caption, Yoyo described flying as deeply uplifting and thanked @hkgpilots for helping her fulfil a wish on her personal bucket list. The nickname captures that enthusiasm; the experience was an instructor-accompanied flight.

Sharing the joy of discovering aviation

At HKPAPA, we are pleased to have been part of this chapter in Yoyo’s story. Her willingness to step into an unfamiliar environment and share the experience offers an encouraging reminder: curiosity can be the beginning of a new interest.

Thank you, Yoyo, for flying with us and sharing the joy of that experience with your audience. We hope these moments encourage more people to look at aviation with curiosity and imagine what they might learn.
