I've been really interested in aviation for most of my adult life. I thought one day I'd take the leap to learn to fly but found out a private pilot's license is $10,000. That was 15 years ago I learned the price and thought it was always an out of reach pipe dream. One random Saturday morning I turned on KZfaq to watch a video and this documentary played next. It was an amazing film and proved it's not really out of reach. I've flown twice now and plan on continuing for a private license.

This was fantastic. As a student pilot, this literally hit all of the feelings and emotions that come with flying. Every flight, i am more fascinated than the flight before.

This deserves to be put into a festival, and have hundreds of thousands of views. As a videographer I have a tremendous amount of respect and appreciation for this film you have put together .Every-time I need a little inspiration before my next rating I watch this. Seriously though, the cinematography and story telling is unreal. Blue sky's my friend, wish you nothing but the best moving forward

THIS 40-minute VIDEO IS WORTH THE WATCH!!

It's pretty wild that I'm revisiting this movie now that I'm based out of Van Nuys airport. Previously out of KGYY, i did buy the video when it was released and have it on DVD somewhere in my archives. Thanks for having this out on KZfaq.

Beautiful. This film makes me proud to be an aviator. Soloed on my 16th, hoping to pass my checkride on my 17th :)

OMG.. Incredible film. I don't have words to describe my sentiments and my mood watching that <3 Beautiful, beautiful. Only people that love the aviation know what is it <3

Nice work. Lots of emotion pulled from within me while I watched.

I’m a newer private pilot who just passed 80 flight hours. Whenever there is someone who asks why I fly, I send them to this film… it captures the essence of general aviation much better than I can describe! Wonderful job

I still remember till this day and I remember it as if it was yesterday. I saw a massive jumbo jet at Heathrow airport and I was around 4 back then and I was so small that i was only tall as a long blade of grass. The first aircraft that caught my attention is the Boeing 777 and since then I have always been fascinated with airplanes and aviation in general. The sound of the airport was obviously deafening because of the jet engines but there was something about aviation that is just perfect for me and aircraft suites my nature and background and will forever be installed in the hearts of those who truly love aviation. It was a chilly afternoon and I was boarding a Boeing 777 200ER Turkish airlines and when I felt the roar of the engines echo the cabin and the exhilaration is indescribable. What’s even better was when it lifts off and the vibration grew less and less due to the reduction in air density and it was a constant roaring sound of the engines that I was able to hear. I used to draw airplanes and imitate the sounds of them as well plus whenever I see any aircraft be it a helicopter, fighter jet or a commercial jet i run towards the window to see the aircraft and I still do whenever I hear a large, aluminium overcast flying over. My ultimate goal is to be a pilot and I yearn in a zealous manner. Basically aviation makes up nearly 95% of me and that all my friends who know me very well know that the topic of aviation is Ahmad Sayyed. Everyone who knows me associates me with aviation

nothing can beat aviation! it sure has left a mark on my heart that will never be forgotten by aviation lovers

First solo is the best day in any aviator’s life. The way the plane feels without all that dead weight in the seat is amazing. July 22nd, 2002 and I still remember it like yesterday.

Fantastic mate! Even after years of flying my heart still skips a beat every time I rotate and the wheels leave the ground.

A lot of emotion watching this

this is the most beautiful video in the world that i watched in my entire life ❤🛩

Cool movie. Thank you for sharing, Captain Shulte.

I love the emphasis a lot of these people have put on just getting in and flying. I’ve been trying for a long while now and I’ve had several family health issues, scheduling issues, money issues and this year got engaged and bought my first house and have had all the expenses along with those all while working a full time job only being able to fly some weekends when I have the money. I’ve heard so many people say that if you don’t devote a certain amount of hours every week you’ll never retain your knowledge. But even in the midst of all that I’ve had going on this year I just soloed a week ago. I know even if it takes me a decade to become a commercial pilot, I will get there and I’ll be even more proud of myself. All this to say if you want to fly, just go fly. Don’t let anyone take that hope from you and most importantly don’t limit yourself. Even if you just get to train a bit here and there just go fly and then “chair fly” a whole lot in between to retain that knowledge. I’ll find my path and I hope you do too.

Aviation is fast becoming my new obsession. I have just started playing around with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and to say it is fascinating would be an understatement. I have hopes of being a qualified pilot one day, even though I am already in my mid-30s and already thriving in another career. I also hope to get my kids interested in Aviation so they can pursue it as one of their career options when they fly from my nest. It would be such a great legacy to leave for my kids, if I can teach them to soar.

As a nervous flyer I found this great. Unfortunately when people who don’t like flying have a flight coming up they watch “airline investigations” instead of videos like this. 👍🏻

What an amazing piece of artwork! Thank you so much. This is on the same level as One Six Right.
