After 36 years flying helicopters, watching Cat's flying skill and excitement, I just wanted to give her a job. What a refreshing video. Misha great job getting the best out of your students you need to be commended.
The fact that she had the situal awareness to fly and be super excited at the same time tell me she is going to make a great pilot , well done pilot yellow another egg has hatched
I must be an old softy. I got emotional seeing the pure joy and excitement Cat expressed. Soooooooo cute!!! Misha you are a fine instructor and human being as well! I love how calm and positive you are with your students even when correcting them. You indeed should be commended!!!Keeping students calm in situations that can be intimidating to them, and where panic and frustration can be deadly is an art. Now I must go dry my eyes.
I love her questions when they pop in her head when she is going through her checks in her head. She surprised me how so smooth she flies until I watched the video with her Parents and the light came on LOl. she will be a wonderful pilot . love her spirit
I felt exactly the same when I solo ed my ultralight.....pretty lonely up there and really quiet later on when the engine failed.......REALLY Quiet.....
I soloed when I was 17 in a Cessna I have had few experiences in life that ever felt as overwhelming and spectacular as that morning. One of my favourite memories
remember my first solo. This video is a great example of if you put your mind to something and you really want it, you can make it happen. Always believe in yourself because the second you stop your at risk of loosing it all.
This was so awesome! I actually teared up at her excitement, and when she says "shouldn't I be scared... the Lord is helping me", I said Amen! This is my favorite video! Congratulations Cat, thank you for sharing!
It's SO NICE to see people reacting so nicely to this... like, nice comments, only 0.02% of dislikes (usually any video gets about 0.5%)... this is how internet and social media should always be! (I loved it so much... I even got emotional in the end of the flight). Congrats, Cat! ❤️
Love it, Great Job Cat, very lucky young lady, great to see this young lady interested in flying helicopters, we need more!!! Let's follow her on to her private. I'm jealous.... I LOVE IT!!!!
Brava Caterina you made me excited and moved in this beautiful video good continia like this ... and then with Macha you are in a steel barrel congratulations to all and a greeting from the Italian Dolomites
Great video! Indeed, great reaction!!Nothing beats that first solo!!! I’ve GOT to come and fly over there as soon as we can move around easily again...!
So very excited with her!! She is obviously already a skilled pilot! While she seems calm and in control the whole time, she was obviously excited at the prospect of soloing!!
I know this is an older video, but wow... I felt the excitement for this young lady while she was doing her first solo. She's probably flying all over the place by now, but congratulations again anyway for doing a great job on you first time up alone. You had a great instructor! Nice job to both of you.
What an awesome video. Watching Kat solo and listening to her put a huge smile on my face. I solo’d in a Piper Warrior and thought I’d like to fly helicopters one day but life got in the way. Congratulations Kat.
At 9:50 she just went thru all the emotions from complete terror to absolute excitement. The adrenaline rush of knowing you are about to do something that can kill you and your CFI has complete confidence in your abilities is amazing. As a CFI once told me.... An airplane wants to fly. A helicopter does not want to fly........ It wants to crash..... You get to decide.
Fantastic .. very well done Cat. Great flying 👍. Your face was a picture when Micha said you are going solo. Brings back great memories for me too 😆. All the very best for the future flying helis. 👍🚁
Thumbs up. I love watching stuff like this.Joy is contagious. and when she sid 'The Lord is with me.'. I had a happy tear.. Good foryou if you trust in him
Outstanding! I remember the day my CFI told me abruptly to pull over onto a taxiway while we were doing touch and goes. “Give me your medical.” Kitzingen Flying Club (West Germany), 1975. Brava, Cat!
I remember my first solo patterns very clearly. I remember hovering over the pad, seeing the instructor give me a thumbs up, starting to inch forward and thinking, 'well, you had a pretty good run'.
After 36 years flying helicopters, watching Cat's flying skill and excitement, I just wanted to give her a job. What a refreshing video. Misha great job getting the best out of your students you need to be commended.
Wonderful
"I think I was meant for this. It feels right. It feels so right". You can't beat that.
First solo is so hard to believe when you're first up there, and you look across at your instructor's empty seat.
Can't wait for the first solo !
i don't know who cat is. but she just warmed my heart. Bravo!
"Shouldn't I be scared?.. The Lord is helping me." lol
Yes I recall too, one of the amazing ever the first solo !
Good going cat
The fact that she had the situal awareness to fly and be super excited at the same time tell me she is going to make a great pilot , well done pilot yellow another egg has hatched

She flies as good as her dad! Way to go Kat
She shows great confidence, what a wonderful Pilot she is......
The most precious part is her acknowledging the Lord's there with her, comforting her. HalleluYah!
First solos are something. Still remember mine.
Flying Adventures where you flying now?
Me too!
Best. Pilot. Yellow. vlog. EVER - Thank you Cat. I cheered you on every minute!

CAT IS MY HERO
First solos are life changing. I was smiling for her the whole time! Awesome flying 👏
Nothing beats the high of going on your first solo! Amazing to watch.
Spectacular Job! Pilot and Instructor!
Wow only 20 hours and she's doing that well. I don't know anything about flying a helicopter but that seems pretty good to me
That was excellent !She has the delicate motorskills needed for copter work............
Yes that’s pretty impressive
Dang this got me a little emotional in a good way, I am so happy for you!

Believe me or not, her happiness made me cry, she was so spontaneous that I was moved to tears! Brava Catarina!
Cat and Mischa! I truly LOVED every single second of watching this! ❤
That was a lovely takeoff with an instructor on board, but for a first solo, absolutely fantastic!
It's SO NICE to see people reacting so nicely to this... like, nice comments, only 0.02% of dislikes (usually any video gets about 0.5%)... this is how internet and social media should always be!
(I loved it so much... I even got emotional in the end of the flight).
Congrats, Cat! ❤️

Grt instructor drop it on them when they least expect it. 1st Solo never forgotten
That was fantastic. I can't help but share your videos as a helicopter teacher on Facebook
This should be a required watch for all those considering becoming a pilot. You cannot bottle this!!
Here i am :)
This was awesome. Thanks for letting us enjoy your first flight. This is probably as close as I’ll ever get to flying a helicopter.
AWESOME JOB CAT !!!!!! Congratulations !! - Outstanding Instructor - I would love to take Helicopter flight lessons from him.

Bravo girl....great job!
Saw the Orange R44 overhead today...love the bop bop bop off the blades! Awesome
I remember mine. It was in a R22. It felt so light and off-balance. So wholesome to see Cat and go back to those feelings after 15 years.
First time seeing this,what a girl,I don't know this young Lady but I'm so proud of her,Well done Catarina,so good.
Congratulations Cat.....First solo is the best feeling and a life long memory.
It would be easy to get addicted to watching RUclips videos of fellow pilots doing their first solos.
Her face when you hoped out was priceless! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome teacher and really good student. Congratulation to both of you.👍👍
Outstanding!!! Was thinking of my first couple solos. Different types of aircraft. Thought exactly the same thing. Well done. Great instructor.
What a fantastic video. It brings back fond memories of my first helicopter solo. Best of luck to Cat on her helicopter flying future.
what a GREAT EXPERIENCE... am SO EXCITED for Cat!!!
Right ON!!!
CONGRATULATIONS CAT!!!

It’s the best feeling I still remember it like it was yesterday when I first went solo in the cessna 172.

The adrenaline rush of knowing you are about to do something that can kill you and your CFI has complete confidence in your abilities is amazing. As a CFI once told me.... An airplane wants to fly.
