Brought me to tears man that was beautiful

Enjoy your parents while they are here, I would give ANYTHING to give my dear ole Dad a ride.....

Son, I have to tell you something. I was 17 years old and we had a Piper Cherokee 140. Daddy felt confident enough that he could put me with an instructor to check me out and then get solo'ed in our plane. Un be knowing to my mom, she did not know what we were going to do when we left for the airport. As far as she knew, we were just going to go flying. We got to the airport, talk to Carl (the instructor). The instructor said " Let's go ". I went out to the plane with him following and I went through all the pre-flight procedures and passed that. Then we went up. We weren't up very long when he had me to do some different maneuvers and then we went back to the airport and made two landings and take off's. The grass strip was not long enough to do touch and go's. When we got up the last time, my instructor Carl said to me " I'm getting ready to do something for the first time in my history" . And I ask him what was that. He said " Turning a student loose after being with him for less than 30 minutes, land and take me to the office, your going up". As soon as I left the ground on the first take off, daddy was on the phone with mom. She said " where is Keith right now?". Daddy said, He is up there right now flying around the airport. It surprised her so much and she said " You get him down on the ground right now". LOL. LOL. She laughed about it later, but then she didn't. And did we get it when we got home. lol. lol. Son, I don't know what you went to College for, but I pray blessings in your studies. And that you reach every goal you set out to reach. But at the same time, I do encourage you to pursue a career in aviation. I'm 59 and my goal still is with Gods' help I will get my licenses. Blessings my friend Bishop Kirby

What a blast! I wish my parents lived long enough to see me fly.

Young man you did your parents proud, I can see it in your dads eye.

Love the Sinatra. Well done 👍🏻

I was lucky enough to have a Dad who was a pilot and my CFI, he passed 2 years ago and I would give anything to fly with him again. Tailwinds Dads!

Great job!....My Mom refused to go up with me when I got my license...."not her dream" either...Took my Dad up though, twice....Like you said, Your parents brought you into this world, and you took them UP, into your world. THAT is beautiful!...now I'm gonna' cry.

Your fathers smile at 03:03 ... He is pretty Impressed

Great great Utah video bro, when I was in the military I've got my private pilot license and it was such a joy to take my mom and dad up the only problem is I went through a thick patch of clouds and I had to work on instruments quickly so happy trails

Got my ticket back in August of 2017. My first passenger was my grandmother, who surprisingly loves flying. Back in December I finally convinced my dad to go up with me and it really was a special moment since he introduced me to aviation and ignited this passion of mine (he travels for work weekly and would bring home model planes for me), took him to a cool airport with some great food nearby. Watching and listening to your mom's reaction to steep turns made me laugh because when I took my dad up I put the plane in a slip over midfield to make it down to pattern altitude and my dad who is so used to being in charge goes "Ok buddy no aerobatic maneuvers, alright?". Had to explain to him that I slip the aircraft to get down quicker, kind of funny to step back and see how normal these maneuvers we do in training seem but how wild they may seem to others.

This video made me smile. Happy landings!

I feel nothing but tremendous love from watching this! I am a better person from watching this! Thank you so much! Cherish your parents! I miss mine even more then ever.

Awsome vid can’t wait to experience my first flight with my family

your Dad is so funny! his smile like OMG my son

I could see how proud your dad was of you the whole time pretty awesome !!

You deserve for than 500subs

Well Done Alex. I love your video. Amazing. Keep up the good work.

Greetings from across the Atlantic. I watch this just to watch your Dad. He’s so entertaining. He should do standup or a TV comedy show :-)

Kudos kid. Nicely done.

Your dads smile made me smile. Great video man!

Thx Alex for this very emotional video! Will do the same with my parents ;)

awesome vedio,nice back ground music when taking off,nice headset

Awesome video brother. Well done.

You are a good and considerate son.

Great video really enjoyed it.

Dad was wondering:” I see where my money goes”🤣

Awesome!!You are such a wonderful son to your parents.

Amazing!!!!

I love this video! I hope to fly my mom just like this one day! You are a good guy :)

I'm surprised you dad didn't get sick after staring out LOL !! He's got the right stuff

Great. I love the look of your dad. Mix of pride, fun and doubt :-) I´d have never done a steep turn or stall with my mother aboard.

Great video

This is one of the things I’m most excited about if I manage to become a pilot. The first time I ever told my parents I wanted to be a pilot, I was 16 and had already pretty much decided that I would study to be a vet, so they(especially my dad) were pretty unsupportive because of financial issues as well as personal. But I understand why. I haven’t yet started studying aviation at all but I really hope that one day I make it so that I can make my parents proud

Very proud parents! My first passenger was my mum. Dad is still thinking of excuses not to be the next passenger... haha!

That’s super cool ! God bless your family kid !

Great video, your parents look very proud of you. Good work.

I laughed hard when u sayed keep mike at kissing distance

Nice job! I decided to keep my turns under 30 for my parents first flight and definitely didn’t stall but good for you ;)

awesome video, Alex!!

It's amazing

These are so wholesome

Very cool. Your dad really started working his chewing gum as soon as you started the engine :-)

U earned it. like + subed

Nice bro

Your parents are so lucky,,,,

Really waiting for this beautiful day

As a dad m'self, I can guess that your parents were very proud of you.

Great.. hey.. lived three yrs at the lake.. now in Oregon. Am retired Army officer..had my private pilots lic. Fixed wing.

I live within two hours of this lake in WV and its beautiful. Your mom was hilarious when you made the turn🤣Thanks for sharing. BTW just curious you said you were in college during this was it VA tech?

Excellent！Congratulations!

Proud moment

Nice..

Great video....I know that this was shot a while ago, and I'm sure you've learned so much since filming this....but I must add that one of the most important lessons I have learned when taking people up (whether it's their first time or not) is to not show them anything except a fantastic time...This means no stalls, no steep turns, no practice maneuvers......The goal is for them to enjoy their time with you in the air...that usually means "straight and level flight". Anything else tends to put the fear of God in them and will keep them from coming back again. One last thing I have learned from "trial and error" is to always announce a bank to your passengers prior to banking....Trust me, I've learned these things the hard way. Just my 2 cents....awesome video...great flying!!

Game me new life goals! :)

Sharp bro

This is what am ghonna do to my parents when am gonne get my ppl

Lyncherburg School of Aeronautics! :D awesome

Great video. Your dad is kooky! Could you please play the music quieter? It’s very distracting and makes it tough to make out a lot of the dialogue. Good work!

Great feeling isnt it? I remember my first passenger was my girlfriend. Sadly there are 3 people that dislike this amazing experience, some people dont get it I guess.

Oh.. first time I took my mom up for a flight.. I had just returned from deployment .. my dad said to do military takeoff.. opps..mom started crying like crazy.. had to turn around and land her.m

Love you bro love you

You go to Liberty ?! I have friends up there that go there. I was this close ->" " to going to liberty. lol

The 14 dislikes are probably just jealous haters great video man

Is 25 degrees max recommend 30 degrees max the limits

What’s dad doing? Why doesn’t he put the phone down n enjoy the flight????

Showing off your flying skills is never a great day out for your passengers, Try Flying to an Airport Restaurant or attraction

FUCK KZfaq!!

Why would you show ANYONE who is afraid of flying what a stall (they may think the engine will fail or they will feel the dropping feeling and really be scared) or even a steep turn (it will be like tipping a car over from their standpoint) when you are hoping that they will enjoy the moment and - as a parent - be proud of your accomplishment. I suspect that your parents paid for your flying lessons so be mindful of exposing new folks - and your parents - to flying in a small airplane. And also be mindful if you even take up a female that you are trying to impress. Let them get used to it before you start exposing them to some of your thrills! Or they will never want to ride with you again. Maybe some of your macho buds will want to go for a wild ride - but are you really competent as an aerobatic pilot?
