    Great to see youngsters with serious goals. I noted how alert for traffic you were on approach. Well done lad! Attitude will control your altitude in life, whatever you decide to do. My solo was at age 22, 50 years ago. I remember it like yesterday, the late afternoon sun was casting long shadows as I taxied to the ramp. It was a great feeling of accomplishment.

    Hey i’m definitely not 13 (yt guidelines ) How many hours did you get in before doing this solo? and if you don’t mind me asking, How did you get funding for this? wether you worked a job or your parents helped.

  • @cheapskateaviation
    @cheapskateaviation 2 года назад

    Beautifully done. Soloing at 16 is very cool, but what's really impressive to me is the under 10 hours of dual. That's amazing. I recently soloed at age 32 with a little over 20 and I was proud of that :D. My question: You have almost 600 subscribers and currently this video has over 60k views. Sounds like you could get a pretty good following if you crank out more content. Are we going to be seeing more videos?

    What an amazing flight! I’m 12 and did a trial flight on the Piper PA 28 and can’t wait to go into training when I’m 14. Never forget this, it’s an experience for life.

    @tomarmstrong1281 2 года назад

    Nice video, congratulations. Without doubt the best age to learn to fly in the shortest amount of time is early to mid teens. Verbalising intentions is a good strategy. One small point I thought 'take off' had been replaced by ‘departure'. Related to a misunderstanding in the Tenerife accident I believe.

    I’m currently 17 years old and looking heavily into Aviation as either something to do or as a career. The idea of accelerating down a runway and taking off has always been a dream of mine. You make it look easy!

    This. Is. Amazing. I’m 20 years old and I haven’t yet done this. One day though … one day. Well done for doing something like this at such a young age. I have one question though, what’s it like to fly a plane if you were to explain it to someone that’s never flown before?

    That "Wow" on takeoff... I had exactly the same reaction on my first solo. Very confident looking circuit, too. If you were nervous, it didn't show. I still speak my checklists out loud, too. Nice work.

  • @michaelcolletti790
