In 2015, Scott competed in his XtremeAir XA42 and earned the position of Champion in the Reno National Air Races Sport Medallion Class.

2016 proved to be another exciting year for Scott. In July 2016 Scott once again captured the title of Air Race Champion while competing in Lisbon Portugal against pilots from around the world.
