Maria, this is your video. It is you sharing your experience. Thank you for doing that. And your choice of music is one aspect of your individual experience. An artist is a person who makes creative choices, like music selection, based upon what moves them as an individual. There are many people who start out with a focus on creativity, but then make compromises for the sake of what is appealing not to themself, but to others. At that point, the artist becomes the craftworker. Art morphs into trade. The emphasis shifts from what moves one internally to what the market forces dictate. The most derogatory word here is 'sellout'. Well, there's actually an even more derogatory word. When a person whores out their passion. It doesn't happen overnight. It is a process of compromise that happens in stages. My own perspective is that there are some compromises which can be very helpful, both to oneself and to the audience. Because as a creator, it can be a much more satisfying experience to connect with a larger audience than with only a tiny niche. And my own personal perspective on your choice of music here is that it did an excellent job of conveying the jubilation you experienced on your flight. It appears that I am in the minority. But I have never been too concerned with popularity. Popularity can have its pluses, but it can also be a prison. One of my favorite comments on popularity was from Huey Lewis when his song hit Number 1. He said, "I thought it was better than that." His father was a musician, and he taught him that things that are of the best quality are typically not recognized by the masses as such. It is the midrange stuff that connects with the center of the bell curve. These aren't the words he used. I've translated it into my own words. All of this said, I have my own feedback to you on ideas for how this video could be improved. I don't understand why you burned in subtitles. I see it to be a much cleaner solution to give us the option to click the CC button to turn it on, and to declutter the video if we don't want it. It would be a great feature if KZfaq would let us select alternate audio tracks as well, as the .mp4 format has let us do for years, and which I capitalize on with my own video collection. That way, you could make the background music a deselectable feature just like captions. The other thing I wanted to see was the times when this PIC let you fly the Spit. I was not clear on that at all. And this edit almost makes it look like he didn't give you any stick time. But on the ground he was clear that he was going to let you fly some maneuvers. Thanks again for sharing this amazing experience which all of us would love to do. I would love just getting to fly that sweet sim. Oh, one other thing... You only talk about you and Guillaume going up for a flight. That sucks if your boyfriend did not get a flight. But I am sure that he was very happy for you two.

I thought it to be so fun and I honestly loved it! Really got into a funky mood and did a little dance with the loops 😂🙊

Can’t complain about the music, the video was excellent overall 😍😍

Thanks!! Haha I thought it was funky too 😂🕺

Thank you! Appreciate your comment 😘

Well give a shout out to the Hurricane and Lancaster bomber,as well. Spitfire was the superior technology, but ironically the Hurricane accounted for 60% of aerial victories, in the Battle of Britain, Probably because there was more Of them

@@Rowlph8888 Yes the Hurricane was good in 1940 but by 41 and the entry of the Spitfire MkV the Hurricane was done as main front line fighter

THANK YOU!

Thank you 😁 Correct!

Yes indeed back in ww2 nothing equalled it

Troll. Go away.

Khadija Chiban just don’t take advice from any Arab dude living in a cave in Afghanistan and wearing a bomb jacket. No just kidding, it was a joke.

@@reeko2352 pwahahaha, i actually am moroccan lmao

@@hibataha75, the movie Anadolu Kartalları (Anatolian Eagle) was extremely well done. It is about the path to becoming a fighter pilot in the Turkish Air Force. But you may well know that planes like this Spitfire and the fighter jets shown in that movie have a much darker side. And this is in stark contrast to these machines having this intensely spiritually uplifting aspect. One author who does an excellent job in conveying the intense experience of flight is Richard Bach. I'm not sure which of his books would be the best to start with, if you're interested in checking them out. Maybe 'Stranger to the Ground'. But the one which made the biggest impact on my life was 'Illusions'. Just the passion you have expressed here is what is needed to get you halfway there to realizing your dreams. The key to the other half is persistence. Passion & persistence are the most important things that are needed to get you to realize your dreams. And you might be surprised that it can also get you beyond your goal.

Never comes close to the 109.

@@varunkoganti9067 Spitfire or 109, we still would prefer the sound of those engines. Agreed?

I got to take over controls for a bit, that was really cool 😍

@@MariaThePilot How was the feeling when the realisation hit that you actually are at controls of a Spitfire?

Not in combat, but many logged huge hours in virtually all types. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsekpdJll9zIiJc.html
