Mate! Amazing video, I‘m so jealous! My goal 2021 is to meet you and go out for a flight!

I watched your earliest 152 training videos as I was a high schooler becoming a filmmaker. I transitioned onto film school as you grew as an aviator, a channel, and a filmmaker. I watched your videos as I graduated and got a job, moved out of filmmaking whilst you stayed strong. Today, I’ve moved to the United States, and am attending Embry-Riddle to put this whole thing to rest once and for all. You’ve been a part of my life, and I wish you a happy 2021.

I'd just like to mention that some of us notice and admire that your production values are way above the average for KZfaq. Happy New Year.

“Thoughts became things. What you think, you will bring upon yourself.” Hell of a thing to be 71 years old, and learn something so simple and so profound. Thank you very much for taking me along on your journey. N.E.OH Bob

Been here since your high school days! Now I’m about to graduate high school too! Thank you for the years of the great content Josh!

I’m merely one of 128k subscribers but I just want to tell you that your video making is superb. You’ve changed over the years. The tone of your videos has changed. I truly love how you do them now. Like many folks , 2020 was frankly a terrible year for me personally but again , I’m just one of millions and many had it WAY worse. Yet, there were some good things along the way. Some involved aviation. Thanks for making a video reminding me to take a look back for the good , not the bad. I appreciate all the work you put into your productions. And they are productions , not videos. You’ve become a great asset to the GA community. Happy New Year Josh. If you get to Lake Havasu Az again (pretty sure you were here already) lunch is on me. :-)

Thank you Josh! last summer I was in the hospital for 45 days with big health problems, the kind that could ground a pilot forever. I had a tablet while I was there and watched your videos and it kinda encouraged me to first get well again and second to fly again, its been a few years since i've flown but have my ppl since june of 1986. Just had to say that you inspired me a lot to get back up there, my health is nearly back to 100% and like to think that your inspiration is a part of that! Thanks!

Great video and inspiring message: I had to quit flying years ago, because I lost my job and the money ran out. Since a year and a few months I live in a small village in the northern part of the Nederlands: Gaastmeer, population about 300 people. I met some very sweet people, became an active member in the church community here. A couple who are running a farm and bed and breakfast have a little sailing boat. They don't have much time to sail, but my wife and I may use the boat like it's our own! In return we help with maintanance and repairs. We were allowed to use a Canadian canoe which is seldom used by others. We live in a part of the country with many beautiful lakes and small canals. We make beautiful bicycle tours in the surroundings. We and our children are still healthy, no Corona problems. Yes, 2020 was tough, but a lot of silver linings! And it's a lot of fun to follow flying adventures on your and other canals! Keep up the good work!

Good stuff! Look forward to what you'll deliver in 2021.

With all my travel plans being cancelled and the money that was then freed up this year, (2020) I decided it was time to start flying again. After 14 years of taking a break, I got back up into the skies again. Then being frustrated in scheduling a rental plane I decided to become an aircraft owner. I bought a great 1977 Cessna R172XP. I've learned so much during the process of buying an airplane. I'm now instrument current as well. I found a love for giving back by doing Public Benefit Flying. a.k.a. Angel Flights. These flights are so rewarding and it also gives me a reason and a place to go fly. Now I just hope we have a mild winter here in Chicago. While in the early part of the pandemic and the lockdowns I am grateful to have found Aviation 101 as an incredible source to keep learning. Thank You Josh for this amazing content and thought provoking ideas like AQP. Let's keep this momentum up for 2021! Wishing you Blue Skies ahead.

As far as I know I have not missed a single Aviation 101 production in 2020. You have a beautiful announcer voice with great personality. Your production of videos accompanied with clear-cut precise editing are stunning. Over the year I have seen great growth in you as you develop skills in both flying and story-telling. Great job! Look forward to 2021 with you.

I have watched you for many years now and will continue, you have matured and have a story beyond just flying. Aug 2019 was the last time I flew and I do not know when I will start again, family continues to come first, your videos keep the dream alive and help me to cope with life. Have a great 2021Josh and your family.

Josh, once again, you brought us another great year of education, entertainment, and inspiration. I especially connected with your comment here about "16Right". That documentary (which I have 2 copies of on DVD and the accompanying "16Left" making-of DVD) was something that was so inspiring to me as a young aviator. The cinematography and storytelling that Ryan brought to the aviation community has shown in much that has been produced since, and its effects on your own filmmaking are clear and definitely well taken/executed by you. You had so many good little "one shot" videos this year as well. The flight with Angel Flight is one that should be one that is in your reel for many years to come. It was very well done and really embodies your "content with meaning" ideals. Likewise, I was so excited to see when Emily posted on Instagram that you were joining them on their Yacht and I was so hoping that we'd get a video from you on it. When it posted, I watched it immediately and wasn't disappointed. You told another great story and had some awesome footage. I also appreciate that all of y'all actually made sure to enjoy the trip and not spend the whole thing filming. Finally, the AQP - this project is something that I am so glad to see going on in the community and something that is getting attention. Even as Dan was rolling out AQP with you and Steve, my main venue of flying, through Civil Air Patrol, is jumping onto that bandwagon. We don't yet have an AQP syllabus, but it's coming. With our recent spate of unfortunate accidents ourselves, the need for better training is only made more acute. Anyways, long winded (surprise), but I hope you're having a great New Year's Eve (almost midnight CST as I type this) and I can't wait to see what's to come in 2021.

Been a subscriber for a while (5 years has gone past quickly it seems), and have enjoyed watching your endeavors, and most importantly, your teaching skills. Your channel will continue to grow. Stay with it.

I found you this year. And it has been an incredible journey with you. Its helping me mentally stay active in aviation. I have also spent a lot of time enjoying your journeys in your history. You make incredible content. Thank you!!!

I bet I joined the channel much later than almost all people that have commented here. My passion of aviation started two years ago, and I started to look into GA only at the beginning of 2020, but that's why 2020's important for me. As a high school student, I have finally found something that I love and something that I call it "my dream". It is this channel that brought me into the knowledge part of GA, and at the same time how fascinating GA flying could be. Looking forward to watching new cotents on the channel, and Happy New Year!

The best thing about being a pilot is that your always learning. Don't stay stuck in the C-172. Get your multi and move up to bigger and more powerful aircraft. My passion was IFR flying and Aerobatics with contests put on by the International Aerobatic Club (IAC) part of the EAA. Find your path in Aviation. It might be Warbirds, Vintage or Sailplanes. When you find that path, do more than you think possible. No matter how much money you have, in Aviation it will never be enough. Happy Flying

You are by far one of my top 3 favorite KZfaq channels. I am now watching all of your older videos I had never watched. Great job, Josh -- keep inspiring us!

"...to produce content with purpose." You excel in that endeavor.

Josh...i gotta say...your flying is great, CFI abilities...awesome...but your ability to capture stunning moments in time with your film making is absolutely awe inspiring. Been following you for a while now, since you started actually, and it just keeps getting better. Cheers my friend and may 2021 bring more of those spectacular life lessons!

2020 just made seeing lifes golden nuggets that much easier, the silver lining is obvious among all that rust, and it makes it that much more rare and valuable. Great film work!

I keep waiting for that Josh Flowers Production to show up on Discovery Channel every week, I know it's coming, just be sure to post a notice here so we don't miss it. Let me drop a little carrot of wisdom on you to ponder for a while, a teacher of mine once defined the process of education as "the process of learning more and more about less and less until you know everything about nothing". Take a minute to let those words sink in and reflect on their meaning. To me, what I get from them is that we can never stop learning, for when we stop learning we stop living, and I feel one of the best ways to continue learning is to teach, because when we teach we also learn. Josh I feel you are an excellent teacher I learn something new form each of your videos. Keep up the great work and see you on Discovery Channel soon!!

I remember when I first started following your adventures. It’s been quite a few years. So many things have changed. I went back and re watched some of your earlier videos. You have come a long way. Well done and keep up the good work.

I'm going to get my GA this year and this channel is a big part of what I use to keep the brain engaged in the experience of training. It' snice to see you grow and I hope you fly far in this life.

I have been a subscriber for about 18 months. You have helped me rekindle my love of flying. We do enjoy your content!! You reinforced the skills I learned years ago, and support our need to be skilled at how we fly and prepare to fly. 2021 will be way better than the last 12 months. Some were good, some were not. Enjoy and always work on the bucket list and completing it! Can't wait for the up and coming content. Happy New Year!!

Josh, hands down, your channel is the finest aviation site on The Tube. Even more than your piloting skills, the highly professional videography you offer is an inspiration and beautiful escape for your viewers. You are a talent, and I appreciate how you are able to share such wonderful content in the air while professionally and personally remaining grounded and humble as a teacher and mentor. My New Year’s resolution is to reward you with my financial support as an aviation enthusiast who never had the opportunity to become a GA pilot. Thank you, and Happy New Year. RICK

Thanks Josh for allowing us to share in your adventures. You have been a part of my flight journey since 2015. I always look forward to the next installment of Aviation 101. Happy New Year and here's to 2021.

Man thank you very much for everything you do for all of us as an aviation community as a whole. You have inspired me, motivated me, and when needed helped me see through the fog of training and remember the core reason I fell in love with flying in the first place. Keep up the great work my friend. Fly On!

Absolutely BRILLIANT summation, Josh! Been a rough year for everyone, and I’m glad to see it in the rear-view mirror. May you and yours have a better, happier and more prosperous 2021!

There are no peaks where the views are beautiful without deep, deep valleys. Blessings to all!

Josh, keep honing your craft. You are where you belong in aviation and film making. The perfect niche!

Well my dear dude, all I can say is Happy New Year and may the light of 2021 bring happiness, joy , love and health to you and love ones.

Awesome video, Josh! We really appreciate your authenticity and genuine contribution to the entire GA community. You nailed it on the head, “Content with purpose”. Thanks for the quality material that is not only fun to watch, but very informative and meaningful. It truly sets you apart. It was great meeting up with you over the summer. Looking forward to next time!

Me too John, started flying again this year after a thirty year hiatus and I'm IFR current again, next get my CFII recertification! Because of videos like this. I feel born again!

Happy New Year! I started my aviation journey this year and was lucky enough to have found your channel. You have been with me throughout my training so far. You paint a beautiful picture of the freedom and beauty that aviation has to offer. Thank you!

Josh, you are wise beyond your years, you make your family and friends proud. I really appreciated your insight into this past year and for looking head. Take care and may you (and the rest of us) have a great 2021. Thank you for everything you do to produce these videos for all of us to enjoy. God Bless.

Thanks for another year of great content. Aviation101 is the only youtube channel for which I don't ever miss a video. 2020 was my first year as a pilot (and owner), and that has made your content even more inspirational and helpful than ever. Keep up the great work- looking forward to more awesome videos in 2020!

Happy New Year Josh and Family! Thanks for your fantastic content.

I wish you all a very happy new year! Aviation101 and a few others fanned the flames of my passion for flying. I went to David Wayne Hooks and walked into the flight school near my home here in Spring, TX and did my discovery flight in November and hope to continue training in 2021. Let's grab the year by the yoke and fly it in the right direction!

Hey Josh, watched one of your first videos many years ago. Met you at Sun N Fun about four years ago. So enjoyed your journeys and adventures! God Bless and here’s to 2021! Keep the adventure alive friend!

A wonderful summary, as narrated by a talented storyteller. I especially enjoyed the introspective look into why you do what you do. “To produce content with purpose” is exactly why I started my own KZfaq channel in 2020. It’s my way of giving back to a community that has given me so much. If I can do it 10% as well as you do, it’ll be worth it. Thanks Josh.

It has been a crazy year for sure. Earned my CFI, CFII, and MEI this year. Also went into my 4th year if aerospace engineering! Looking forward to your content this coming year as I’ve been following you since 2013 when I was 14! Every year gets better and better, keep it up!

Wow, you did a lot! I'm a little salty because I holed up in my apartment and went nowhere for the last nine months, and it's now seeming that I maybe didn't have to do that.

An amazing filmmaker and an even better pilot! Most importantly someone always striving to be a better person...Thank you Josh for your inspiration and the stories you capture better than most! Happy New Year stay safe and look forward to 2021 with you

Bravo Zulu Josh!!! Looking forward to 2021.

Wow! You have captured so many thoughts, and adventures in the right amount of time. Awesome video! Best wishes to you, and your family. Happy New Year!

silver lining...As a rusty pilot after 20+ years I have become current and going for my instrument rating. Life is good...

N94CP in the thumbnail is in my logbook. I rented it to fly to college to take a final exam in 2003. Also in 1999 I did my night cross country flights in it for my private pilot. Had my parents in the back for that flight and there was a meteor shower. I remember printing out the PIREPs at the old Piedmont FBO in RDU and reading about all the meteors being reported. Memories, good memories.

Exceptionally inspirational! Our Aviation community needs more passionate aviators like you. Please keep up the great work you do!

Thanks for sharing your awesome 2020 retrospect. Upward and onward 2021!

Nice job finishing off 2020 Josh. Decades ago I spent some time in Alexandria, Egypt for work and nothing makes you appreciate the US more than being away from it. I feel like it's that way for anyone that is out of their country. I loved seeing the sights and meeting the people (most of them) but man it was good to get home. 2020 set the bar so low 2021 can't be anything but outstanding lol There is a chance that the CFI that I rent from is going to pick up an IFR training capable C172 and I may get to reenter the instrument training environment. We'll see. Finishing my instrument rating is my #1 aviation goal for 2021 (and 2020).

My primary takeaway from all of 2020 is train the way you fly, fly the way you train. This channel is a major player in that quest. Perfection isn’t possible, but while pursuing it, you will achieve excellence...a hallmark of Aviation101. CAVU ✈️😎👍

Being a pilot and being a videographer are both tasks which require talent. You are doubly blessed with HUGE talent for both. Great work, Josh.

Great video and message Josh. Looking forward to your 2021 content.

Happy new year everybody, full of beautiful flights !

Looking forward to 2021 and your presentations. Happy New Year!

This truly is one of your very best works! I see so much maturity through experience, self-reflection, and honesty. What a wonderful addition you are to the world of General Aviation, God I'm sure has big plans for you.

Keep up the great work....look forward to more aviation videos in 2021.

Great 2020 rap up! Super video shots as always.

Thank you for an amazing year of videos! While we we may may not have been able to get out to "commit aviation" we are all grateful for being able to ride along with you. Once day I hope to be able to shake you hand in true gratitude.

Wonderful positive message man. Wishing you a happy new year and safe flying! Hope to see you soon up in the sky!

Josh I love your video’s. This year I started my private pilot training. Solo’d which I cannot underestimate the emotions associated with that. I’m halfway through my training and look forward to continuing training in the new year in the quest to obtain my Certificate. People like you motivate me to become a C.F.I. Thanks for all you do. Kevin

Thanks for the ride, things taught, lessons learned. Bring on 2021! Looking forward to the journey.

Looking forward to seeing what adventures lay ahead in 2021!

Josh, thank you for the great videos in 2020. I appreciate all of the scenic beauty and cockpit procedures, but mostly that you are hammering home the importance of safety and training.

Outstanding! Happy New Year!

JOSH THANK YOU for sharing Your ADVENTURES, EXPERIENCES your KNOWLEDGE and PASSION. Your Professioalism and your LOVE for AVIATION. Your videos are so professionally done and ENTERTAINING and EDUCATIONAL. THANK YOU. 👍😊👍

Safe skies and tailwinds into 2021! Happy new year!

I have wanted to be a private pilot for 45+ years but...life got in the way and I lost the desire. I am an empty nester now looking forward to earning my license by 2025. I have been watching your videos for the last few months but this is the one that has really encouraged me to make the plan and make this happen. Thanks!

Hi Josh, thank you for sharing your aviation Experiences with all of us, I give you lots of credit for your honisty and humbleness, Keep up the good work, your an inspiration for many of us watching your channel. And let's hope 2021 Will be a better year for all...

Just bought a hat and t-shirt from you, the hand written note was a great touch! Can't wait to see what you've got in the works for us. Thank you for all your passion and hard work.

well done Josh, thanks for your hard work in 2020, it was very much appreciated and looking forward to what you will produce in 2021. cheers

What a beautiful video! Incredibly moving and just wonderful to look back on all the videos you created this year. I really do find these videos inspiring and informative to watch, and someday I hope to get a PPL and go on adventures like these. I also got to get one of those "We The People" hats :)

Great video Josh! Perfect summary of your 2020 content, and I’m glad you continued to put out great content and adventures during this strange year. It’s an important message that we focus on the good around us even in tough times. Personally, I really appreciated spending more time with my wife and kids while we all worked from home.

Awesome filming. Better year after year! Im excited to see what you come out with in 2021! Happy new year! Happy flying!

Josh, thanks for many years of enjoyment of your flights, and have a great 2021!

Thank you, great video with beautiful visuals. I will look forward to 2021 videos.

Hello from the future, 2021 in Australia.

You're the person that made me fall in love with aviation, I'm now planning to get a Pilot License when I graduate. Thanks for your work and for putting all of yourself in your videos. Thank you!

Thanks for the great content, as usual!! Looking forward to 2021!!

Josh, you are again, one of the main reasons that at the age of 55, I am getting my PPL, and starting to record my flights with my instructor. I just got my first GoPro from Amazon, and getting a wing mount and mount for inside the plane. I’m going to try my best to help spread the word of the joys that GA can bring to people. Have a very Happy, Healthy and safe New Year. I know we are all in anticipation of your next video.

Happy New Year Josh! I think we can all agree that 2020 was definitely not the year we thought it was going to be. I really think 2021 is going to be a much better year for all of us and I am ready to start it. Thank you for all of the excellent content you put out and I wish you the best into 2021. Stay safe my friend!

You really inspire.. and that’s the truth .. I appreciate that you make your videos not only educational but inspiring and honestly I’m always in awe and ready to take on another flight after watching just one video.... anytime your back in southern Cali beers forsure would be on me!

Thanks for taking a positive approach to this crazy year. I needed the reminder myself that it wasn’t all bad. Here’s to good things ahead in 2021.

REALLY ENJOYED VIDEO, PULL UP YOUR VIDEO EVERDAY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW. I;MM 66 NOW AND BECAUSE OF YOU I'VE STARTED FLYING AGAIN AS A BRAND NEW STUDENT, HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE.

Great year review Josh! Happy new year to you and your family! Thank you and may God allow you to do greater things in 2021!

I am finally here early for the amazing Aviation101 videos! Happy New Year everyone. Safe flying.

Thank you Josh. I feel like you are a friend. I have been watching for years now. You are a remarkable man. Happy New Year my friend. Keep up the great work.

Hey Josh, thank you for all your great footage of filmmaking and aviation. I've enjoyed so much your high quality of content and film production in 2020. Keep it coming in 2021. I wish you and your family the very best for 2021 and always happy landings. Andy from Germany

You had a great year! Looking forward to seeing more great content from you.

Not flight related but just want to share. My Wife and I got to vacation in Miami and Key West the first week of December 2019. My family then (my Son on leave) from the Army got to go to Disneyland on New Years Day 2020. We then took my Daughter to Las Vegas for her 21st Birthday the last week of January 2020. I'm so glad I got those moments in with my family before the stuff hit the fan. Be safe everyone. Thanks for the Vlog!

Thanks Josh. Thank for a great year of content. Thank you fopr sharing. Happy NY mate.

Thank you Josh for the brilliant content in 2020. I wish you and your family a happy new year, a healthy and safe 2021. I look forward to your films/content in 2021. All the best, regards, Chris from the UK.

Amazing video Josh! Happy New Year!

Fly safe my brother. May God bless you always.

Awesome!! Hope 2021 is even better! Keep the vlog going!!!

nicely stated and photographed, been watching you since nearly the beginning, love watching you grow.

Thanks for the motivation. I've enjoyed every video you've made. Happy 2021. From Auckland Newland.

Well said Aviation 101. Enjoyed your many videos, while learning a lot. Happy New Years.

Thanks for an inspiring review and message. Happy 2021.
