    Bravo, Noel. You really nailed this one. I don't know how many times I've done this. It's both exciting and gutting. You've perfectly captured the sentiments of we itinerant pilot as we open new chapters. "It's an extra 20 minutes in Lima Bravo." Thank you headwind. 🤗🥰

    Aww,I’ve been watching you for years now and this was very emotional to watch. Thank you for taking us with you on your amazing adventures and making us all feel part of the family. Looking forward to many more years of inspiration, adventure and seeing how you and your family grow. Won’t be long before Sam has his own flying channel 😊

    I had no idea when I joined your Patreon a month ago that I would be watching you fly into Leicester Airport on your last trip in the UK. I have been holed up in that place since June and now just waiting for better weather to finish my ppl! Leicester is my new happy place - I decided to learn to fly after watching many of your videos and those of Petter Hornfelt (Mentour Pilot).
    I can honestly say that at 52 years is of age and a recent empty nester, flying is the best thing I have ever done. Thanks for playing a part in giving me a love for aviation.
    I just wish I had been there that day you visited! It was weird seeing my instructor’s cars in the car park and hearing my friend on the radio not to mention Mike Kilo and Golf Whiskey parked up!
    Good luck in the States

    Mr Phillips I got emotional myself watching this. Your videos have helped me through the toughest time of my life when my mother passed away from cancer. Watching you videos always puts a smile on my face and whenever I feel down I just watch a Noel Phillips video and I'm instantly better. I'm going to miss the england videos but am looking forward to the new adventures. Can't wait for the next one and welcome to the USA.

    Noel I’ve truly loved watching your videos from across the pond in New York for a long time and you partially inspired me to work towards my PPL finally at 36 years old and I am well on my way to that magical 40 hours all of us pilots love to conquer. Flying really does add such fulfillment to one’s life no matter what everyone’s own unique situation is going forward and you showed such a great example of that documenting your own special journey with aviation and it’s much appreciated! Can’t wait to watch your new adventures in the US and I wish you and your family all of the best and safe travels coming over here!

Whatever the future holds for you and the family, wishing you all very well. It must have been emotional doing that flight and putting the highlights reel together at the end. I’m really excited to see and hear what the future holds for you and the family. Take care and fly safe.

    As a travel enthusiast and private pilot born in England and raised the US, I love both of your channels. My heart dropped when I saw the video title, but I also suspected you had a good surprise up your sleeve! VFR flying in the US will be a bit different, but (at least from my perspective) I think it's probably a bit easier. Airspace is a lot easier to deal with (for the most part). Our "flight following" service is very similar to the "basic service" in the UK. Altimeter settings will of course be in inches of mercury and the whole QNH/QFE transition thing is nonexistent. I look forward to seeing you get into flying in TX and elsewhere in the US!

    Best of luck! I travel frequently from the US west coast to Texas. Hope our paths cross at some point on your next journey across the globe. Ironically, now that you are leaving the UK, I am heading there quite often. Your flying stories really hit home. Many fond memories of the flying club and flight school. Seems everyone has the same stories about the hangar queen, hot rod, and the popular plane. The plane that will always live in my heart is an old 1977 Cessna 172. While everyone else picked the fancy G2000 equipped planes with shiny paint and leather, the old gal was always my choice to grab a $100 hamburger. Always flew perfectly and she never hiccupped once.
