This girl is amazing. She is piloting an aircraft as if she were taking a bike ride in the park. Calm, carefree, confident. Congratulations to her and to those who prepared her. I wish her the greatest of happiness her life, both in the air and on land. Take care.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 Isn't that how it is with most things? It's difficult when you are learning and easy after you have learned. It's easy to ride a bike after you've learned....but it's difficult to learn.
@@williamh.scottv438 I suppose it’s different for everyone. Riding a bike came very easy for me and so did flying an airplane. I started both very young so that may have given me an advantage . Anyway it’s fine this girl is flying her ultralight, I saw a few things she was doing I’d probably call her on if I was her instructor but hopefully she’ll be safe and have a long experience with aviation if that’s what she’s choses to do.
Outstanding, well done. My only comment is personal choice. I prefer a closed cab. Ya I know it's not the same as the open freedom thing, but I've had my fill of bird turds, insects, marine layer goop and trying to enjoy a cup of coffee or snack on those long one's. My bird is similar. We used rivets, 12 & 16 GA alum sheets and marine aluminum flex bond to seal and enclose my little cabin. What a huge difference. Put a small console in too with upgraded instruments and even an Icom VHF. Enjoy!!
There are quite a bit of people mentioning eye protection, this was one of my first-ever flights before heading to Oshkosh so I had not thought of it yet. Currently, I use safety glasses but we may upgrade to a full face in the future.
as a motorcycle rider a bumble bee hit me in the mouth at 75 mph and I ended up on golf cource with busted lip and bloody nose, love your vid, get full face helment THANX!
I'm sure you will be wearing eye protection now but we were just doing taxi runs not very fast at all and a bug got in this guy's eye and we had to quit right away so he could take care of his eye. Glad you can experience this while you are young. I was in my mid 40's before I started flying Trikes. Fly safe.
I was only doing 40 mph on my motorcycle when a bee got wedged next to my eye between my sunglasses and the bridge of my nose , which the bee managed to sting. It didn't improve my riding style for a second or two. Lesson learned!@@bowlweevil4161
Love every second of this and she has a lot to be proud of. One thing that kept crossing my mind was the wind in her face. I really think she should be wearing something for eye protection. That aside must repeat loved all of this and again she has lots to be proud of. Wonderfull !
I fly PPG, and this has inspired me to start flying fixed wing ultra light. What an awesome and amazing young lady. I have a 14 year old son, he does some cool stuff, too, but she wins! As for all these people out there giving her a hard time for cell phone use or eye pro, I say know before you blow. Meaning, don't speak on things til you have all the information. There are many aviation apps and tools I use on my phone when I fly. Haters gonna hate. I say Hi Five!!! Super badass kid!!! 😎 Great job dad!!!
I also notice her precision and focus on details while flying which means she was taught right and had/has capacity to grasp the seriousness of being 2000-3000 + suspended in the air in a manmade flying contraption! Great job!
For everyone, I think it is extremely important for her to wear protective goggles against small insects that can hit her in the eyes, mouth and nose, I think her parents should ask her to wear a closed helmet that allows for better reception of the radio signal and better safety I also think she should also wear more secure clothing due to the altitude she is flying at!!!! But congratulations on your remarkable expertise in flying this vehicle!
It has a plastic windshield and at 6:20 the subtitles say: Insects are deflected by the windshield. And at 7:14 it says that because of the wind on later flights she wore glasses.
See the large windscreen? Look closer. A motorcycle with a half helmet is far greater risk at ground level YOU KNOW, WHERE THE BUGS ARE generally found. Stop being so effing anal
@@pauljtee9141tell me the same joke after you get hit in the eye during takeoff or landing. Eye protection doesn't have to be anything fancy at those speeds, and it's certainly not overkill to suggest it.

Nicely done, girl! I built and flew C-IAVW an aerobatic biplane with differential frieze ailerons and push-pull control tubes. CAVU skies to all aviators!
The “hold short” line is there for a reason. Waiting for another aircraft to land is done on the taxi side of the hold short. Other than that… well done young lady!
The Cirrus made a 5 minute straight in final approach call and appeared a minute later. Alina called taking the active but stopped when she saw the cirrus appear above the trees.
Nice to see people flying Ultralights .. I have a Teradactyl Asender .. I have in hung in my garage Haven't flown for a least 10yr's .. Enjoy and fly safe .
In Switzerland Ultralights are not allowed. The argument: All Teenagers would then fly around the houses as with the small motorbikes...... We have to much administrators.
Alina, congratulations on your piloting achievements. It's really nice to see a young lady such as yourself push boundaries with confidence, and to enjoy it as you obviously do. I'd like to offer some recommendations, suggestions and observations if you'll allow me. Aviation knowledge comes at a price. You have the opportunity to learn much with the vast information and aviation resources that are available to you today electronically and online. That has not always been the case. In earlier days the skills, regs and science of flying were carried around in big boxes of books. Many of the lessons learned by pilots were paid for with lives. There is no need to experiment with safety. Know that if you cut corners, you will eventually pay a price for it. Respect experience and understand that the majority of pilots want to help you along. Listen with an open mind and declare every flight to be a learning experience. I happened to notice a few things that deserve your attention: No eye protection can be very costly. A bird strike or flying debris can ruin your whole day. When I was a military flight student, another student and instructor were hit by a buzzard which broke through the windscreen and practically destroyed the cockpit. The instructor, blinded and unable to communicate with the student, thought the student was dead. Being unable to fly himself, he bailed out leaving the unconscious student to his fate. Luckily the student regained consciousness and was able to safely land the aircraft. It was one of his first landings. Take note. A helmet is recommended. If nothing else, please protect your eyesight for future use and your next landing. You need to work on your situational awareness, both on the ground and in the air. When you start to move the aircraft, stow the phone. You should be looking everywhere, all at once, all of the time. Take extra care to clear yourself above, behind, below and in front on takeoff and landing. Keep your head moving. You held short on the wrong side of the hold short line. That line is present for a good reason. Improper operation by a pilot, both on the ground and in the air causes other pilots to have to watch out for them. Don't be that pilot. It may also cost a flight violation. Raise the level of professionalism rather than lower it. Use your safety harness properly. It's designed to keep you secure in flight, and in the event of a hard landing to prevent injury. Think "safety first" and live it. Imagine what could happen and be ready for that, rather than to dismiss concerns. Know where the nearest landing field is in event of emergency. Keep far, far away from thunderstorms. Far away. Always have fun, judge conditions conservatively, and continue to learn. On your worst day ever, continue to fly the aircraft. Do the pilot stuff. If something happens to you that you don't understand, ask questions until you do understand. Flying is first a set of skills. If you learn them well, it becomes an art; a thing of beauty. Learn everything you can, and never stoop learning. If you don't have a flight data system, Foreflight is an excellent tool. An entire aviation library can be available to you on an i-pad.

This is just a nifty video all together! I never knew how these ultra lights operated. I was impressed at how fast this thing pretty much just jumped into the air. Although very windy, the view is fantastic!
Thought same... Here in germany if you handle a phone/handy during the taxi drive and lost the concentration of the situation around or next to you, you get many troubles ....
Well done Captain Scott. When able, you could get a helmet which will give you an integrated eyescreen, headphones and microphone and head protection all in one. The headset company like Dave Clark will probably sponsor you - as AirVenture Pilot if the Year Captain. To tx Transmit, you can have a PTT button to press to talk. You can fix the button on your control column
Well said, it made me cranky to watch such stupidity. An insect, dust particle or a bird would do significant damage in a collision at 40 knots. Like riding a motorbike without protection at 75 kph.

At her age I would have been happy to just get a ride. I do have a couple of additional observations. I'm glad my airplane has a stick. I would hate to have to use both hands on a wheel all of the time. She ran that poor engine at full throttle for a long time. She flew straight out and never turned. I'll bet the pilot in the twin behind her was pulling his hair out. One time when I took off in my MX, the airplane behind me took off and flew under me before I got to the end of the runway. It looked like there was a lot of "populated area" below her. I'm glad I don't have to fly over all of those trees. Also would have like to see her look around a little more to watch for other planes. Please don't take this as criticism. I have been flying for a long time and I am still learning.
Well done Alina and good job dad Just avoid unnecessary use of cell, at least use a cell holder if necessary, eye protection, stop before the runway line and I think a flight suit will be good just in case of bugs or whatever strike Good job girl I wish if my kid is interested in flight like you
First thing I noticed too, was too mch focus on the cell, not stopping at the cleary marked hold line for the runway etc. Then again the pilot landing with her inside the runway environment should have gone around legally.....
Flight is solo VERY BEAUTIFULL...AWESOME .I LOVE THE SMALL MICROLIGHTS SUCH ASTOUNDING MAGNIFICENT PEOPLE IN THERE FLYING MACHINES...PURE FLIGHT IS JUST BEYOND WORDS..!!****
I see some doing some critisizing she is a young girl doing what young girls do. she looks very relaxed and its beautifull to see.Her dad will give her the extra advice she needs . she is doing fine and the more she does the more she wil learn.
Only criticized and I see is her on her cell phone when she texts me that's very unprofessional I think you have to keep your focus on the runway not the cell phone
How much would it cost to purchase something like this? What about maintenance and fuel costs? And lastly, what type of training do you need to fly? Thanks!
Браво !!! Вы такая смелая леди, это заслуживает огромного уважения ! Я иногда летаю на дельтаплане и перед стартом , всегда есть небольшое волнение , может это пройдёт со временем ! Удачи вам , мягхих посадок !
Thats pretty sick, Having those other planes around, nice,, i see you got the wind shield there. probably still wear some eye wear though for the wind blasting... really cool!!
Great flying. I’m afraid of heights so this terrifies me there is. Nothing between you and the ground. You’re very brave smart and hard working. God bless.
Always wanted to do this myself but no one even close to me gives lessons. I would have to go about 800 miles to the closest person. I'll probably never get the chance. You go girl !!!!
there are people who would come to you I guarantee it. Ask around as if you dedicate a week to it it would only add about $1200-$1500 to your training as you'd pay for someone to fly to your closest airport and put em up in a hotel for the week and if you ask the hotel manager for a discount and explain what you are doing - it will probably happen. I have seen this many times in my flying career.
Amazing girl! She calmly took her place on the taxiway with a twin prop behind her and another coming in to land, and when her turn came, just lined up for a perfect takeoff.🐝🐞

@@williamh.scottv438 certified pilots don't communicate with the tower or ATC with a cell phone unless it's an emergency and thats their only choice . Also, who are you? If she can't competently monitor her engine heat and other vitals she shouldn't be flying. What happens if she drops that phone? I'm honestly not trying to be mean but I share the skys with her. I want competent pilots around me. Also, she has a headset on and is taking off from an obviously busy public airport.
Do you want to know my thoughts about your comment or are you just letting me know your thoughts? I ask because of the zillion questions and comments I get, most are rhetorical and meant as a statement cloaked in the form of a question.
@@williamh.scottv438 I was obviously mostly making a statement. The only nonretorical question I asked was who are you? She seemed very competent at actually flying and it was obviously not her first time. I assume she has some kind of license to be able to use a public airport even if it's not required for the aircraft she was flying. So why does she need someone on the cellphone? It's been awhile but nobody was walking me through my first Solo.
@@docholliday6285 She is skilled enough right now to pass her private pilot check ride and has enough hours as well. The only thing that keeping her from becoming a private pilot is her age.
Wonderful to see a young lady enthusiastic about aviation. Please remember “safety is no accident”. I won’t harp but please at least wear a full face helmet. I hope to see more of your adventures.
OML! She has natural instinct to the controls. I would trust her to fly The 777 if I was a passenger, after she completed that qualification. Awesome! Thanks
Esa joven es tremenda piloto de aviones tiene un valor muy grande y sabe pilotear muy bien me encanta los video de ella es lo máximo que Dios siempre la proteja
Everything you mention costs weight and isn't really necessary. On my Weedhopper, performance was so critical I would wear only a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops! 😂 I only had 17hp pulling me along though.
LOL....I miss those days. I was a Civil Air Patrol also. Being awarded the Solo Flight Scholarship was one of the greatest things to happen in my life. While a cadet my logbook ended up with flight time in numerous high performance aircraft, and I even got simulator time in the space shuttle. I bet the Air Force Academy already has somebody tracking her progress!
What a cool disposition this young pilot has. I think she should be wearing safety googles. I rode motorcycles. A bumble bee in the eye at 20 mph is no fun!
Have been thinking of getting an Aerolite and found your channel. Fantastic! Only negative would be the cell phone. On previous video of Alina flying about over water, she had some need to text and was even letting go of the stick to text A LOT. Can envision worse outcome flying and texting compared to driving and texting. Have the beautiful young lady leave the cell phone on the ground!
@@matthewnelson1108 It seems they do a plane "radio check" before take off. If so then why insert a distracting cell phone into mix? Letting go of the yoke/stick to fiddle with the phone could potentially be trouble with an unexpected gust of wind. Maybe this plane has a dampened stick or is super stable. It does appear easy to fly. The point was that the cell phone is an unnecessary distraction when there is primary communications via the much easier to operate radio. Aside from the cell phone, Mr. Scott is doing a great job of teaching Alina how to fly, not to mention the two going to Oshkosh!!!
It makes my heart glad to see young people who find what the freedom of flight means to their soul. There is nothing like it to compare and...if taken serious, it can lead to many, many years of safe flying enjoyment. It broke my heart when I was forced to realize that I was to old to still fly safely and enjoy the thrill that only flying brings. Those who have done this a lifetime understand this. The Poem High Flight truly says it all...."And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God". Fly and enjoy!

The last thing is to criticise a love for flying, but the risks involved should be managed she should already know the dangers of hitting an insect at 30mph, do t fly open cockpit with out eye protection, don’t teach flying before safety, I hope she has a long and happy association with flying
Plenty of advice here from the "Experts", I'll leave the flight safety to them. My Penny's worth is that I know of four instances of 'Oh My God, I DROPPED IT!' moments from paramotors and hang-gliders... two phones, a GoPro, and a very expensive SLR camera. A lanyard, or some other kind of strap for your phone could be a cheap and worthwhile investment. I'm jealous as hell... keep it up as long as you enjoy it... have a ball!

1) This was one of her first flights.
2) She wore safety Glasses on subsequent flights
3) The use of a helmet was considered very carefully however we chose not to use one.
4) The use of the phone is for communication in the same way a certified pilot would communicate with tower or ATC but in this case I am monitoring the situation and sending her pertinent information. More importantly, she is reporting her engine temperatures to me. If I see an unfavorable trend, I can give her advice or make adjustments at the next stop.
Wow!!! Such a cool girl!!! I wish you lots of fun flying this ultralite. I realy enjoyed the video!!!! GO FOR IT!! Make your dreams come true!!!!!
Braking technique of Fred Flintstone.
Truely Inspiring....
A most positively radiant woman!
At her age I would have been happy to just get a ride.
I do have a couple of additional observations.
I'm glad my airplane has a stick. I would hate to have to use both hands on a wheel all of the time. She ran that poor engine at full throttle for a long time. She flew straight out and never turned. I'll bet the pilot in the twin behind her was pulling his hair out. One time when I took off in my MX, the airplane behind me took off and flew under me before I got to the end of the runway. It looked like there was a lot of "populated area" below her. I'm glad I don't have to fly over all of those trees. Also would have like to see her look around a little more to watch for other planes.
Please don't take this as criticism. I have been flying for a long time and I am still learning.
You can see that airplane at 8:08 in the background under the propeller.
I don't fly. What devices do these tiny craft have wrt allowing other faster users to see it in the sky.

I am 36 and at my age I wold have been happy to just get a ride on wonderful machine like this 😅
She looked very relaxed and confident. GREAT JOB
Well done Alina and good job dad
Just avoid unnecessary use of cell, at least use a cell holder if necessary, eye protection, stop before the runway line and I think a flight suit will be good just in case of bugs or whatever strike
Good job girl
I wish if my kid is interested in flight like you
My thoughts exactly.
First thing I noticed too, was too mch focus on the cell, not stopping at the cleary marked hold line for the runway etc. Then again the pilot landing with her inside the runway environment should have gone around legally.....
Flight is solo VERY BEAUTIFULL...AWESOME .I LOVE THE SMALL MICROLIGHTS SUCH ASTOUNDING MAGNIFICENT PEOPLE IN THERE FLYING MACHINES...PURE FLIGHT IS JUST BEYOND WORDS..!!****
What an amazing fantastic girl. My utmost respect to her and her parents.
This is TRULY Awesome!!! Well done young lady. I wished I had done this when I was younger. May All your Dreams come True!
This is amazing!
Bravo young lady!
You were so calm throughout
What brave parents you have!
Bless them
I see some doing some critisizing she is a young girl doing what young girls do. she looks very relaxed and its beautifull to see.Her dad will give her the extra advice she needs . she is doing fine and the more she does the more she wil learn.
Only criticized and I see is her on her cell phone when she texts me that's very unprofessional I think you have to keep your focus on the runway not the cell phone
Absolutely amazing! Not to mention, inspiring, especially in today's day, and age.
Красава! Слов нет... Мододец!
Inexpensive to buy & maintain, great on fuel, amazing views, great memories, and my personal favorite, only one seat! That's my new favorite aircraft.
How much would it cost to purchase something like this? What about maintenance and fuel costs? And lastly, what type of training do you need to fly? Thanks!
Parece que saiu da escola e foi dar uma voltinha no ultraleve... fofinha ela!! Parabéns!!!
Great video and very cool to see how great she handled the flight.
Excelente. Minha maior preocupação foi de vc não estar usando um capacete e óculos.
👍👍👍👍 she is a great pilot! Keep going this way in your life!
Impressive young Lady. Brave and fearless.
Awesome kid and brave young lady
Браво !!! Вы такая смелая леди, это заслуживает огромного уважения ! Я иногда летаю на дельтаплане и перед стартом , всегда есть небольшое волнение , может это пройдёт со временем ! Удачи вам , мягхих посадок !
И Тебе мягких✌
Yall are so awesome, both of you!
Умница, красавица, обсолютно нет у нее страха, очень уверенно пилотирует, единственный минус без очков и одета не по погоде , так легко простудиться.
Colds are caused by a virus. But definitely warmer clothes for comfort
Ну да. В трусиках, в футболочке
Женщина... Хорошо что пупок прикрыт.
WOW! That is so cool. I can't imagine the feeling of being aloft in such an aircraft. 👍
Thats pretty sick, Having those other planes around, nice,, i see you got the wind shield there. probably still wear some eye wear though for the wind blasting... really cool!!
Who on earth is disliking this video. Having three kids, youngest girl turned 17, I would be so proud of that accomplishment. Good job!!!
She looks like a very young woman, she will probably be fly a jet liner one day.
OMG. I love it. Thanks you for sharing.
Ok. Voa igual a um pássaro mas onde estão os oculos de proteção? ❤❤❤❤❤
Очко всегда при ней!
Tohle krásný video mě dostalo ! Má skvělé rodiče.
Um exemplo para essa juventude. Parabéns!
Great flying. I’m afraid of heights so this terrifies me there is. Nothing between you and the ground. You’re very brave smart and hard working. God bless.
Russian
That is so awesome. What a lucky girl to have such a hobby.
Thats all I want to do in life... just fly like you are doing. Way to go!!!
Always wanted to do this myself but no one even close to me gives lessons. I would have to go about 800 miles to the closest person. I'll probably never get the chance. You go girl !!!!
there are people who would come to you I guarantee it. Ask around as if you dedicate a week to it it would only add about $1200-$1500 to your training as you'd pay for someone to fly to your closest airport and put em up in a hotel for the week and if you ask the hotel manager for a discount and explain what you are doing - it will probably happen. I have seen this many times in my flying career.
There's probably RUclips videos that can teach you how. They got videos that teach how to paramotor.
She is fearless!!
Amazing girl! She calmly took her place on the taxiway with a twin prop behind her and another coming in to land, and when her turn came, just lined up for a perfect takeoff.🐝🐞
While playing on her phone the entire time

@@williamh.scottv438 certified pilots don't communicate with the tower or ATC with a cell phone unless it's an emergency and thats their only choice . Also, who are you? If she can't competently monitor her engine heat and other vitals she shouldn't be flying. What happens if she drops that phone? I'm honestly not trying to be mean but I share the skys with her. I want competent pilots around me. Also, she has a headset on and is taking off from an obviously busy public airport.
Do you want to know my thoughts about your comment or are you just letting me know your thoughts? I ask because of the zillion questions and comments I get, most are rhetorical and meant as a statement cloaked in the form of a question.
@@williamh.scottv438 I was obviously mostly making a statement. The only nonretorical question I asked was who are you? She seemed very competent at actually flying and it was obviously not her first time. I assume she has some kind of license to be able to use a public airport even if it's not required for the aircraft she was flying. So why does she need someone on the cellphone? It's been awhile but nobody was walking me through my first Solo.
Great experience....salute you best video
I can't believe her confidence. Everything is like second nature to her. Fair play!
Confidence with a lack of skill, experience is a problem.
@@docholliday6285 She is skilled enough right now to pass her private pilot check ride and has enough hours as well. The only thing that keeping her from becoming a private pilot is her age.
Confidence or the naivety of youth, how old is she about 14? No eye protection, no helmet, bare legs & arms!
Way to Go! From a way retired old Navy Aviator.
Wonderful to see a young lady enthusiastic about aviation. Please remember “safety is no accident”. I won’t harp but please at least wear a full face helmet. I hope to see more of your adventures.
Parabéns pela coragem, competência e confiança! Top demais... essa garota tem futuro... 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏😎✌️🇧🇷
A bit of advice, keep your hand on the throttle during takeoff and landing. Clear skies and happy landing.
Thanks for posting and sharing.
OML! She has natural instinct to the controls. I would trust her to fly The 777 if I was a passenger, after she completed that qualification. Awesome! Thanks
She'll get there one day and she will be great ❤
😂 you’re delusional
Esa joven es tremenda piloto de aviones tiene un valor muy grande y sabe pilotear muy bien me encanta los video de ella es lo máximo que Dios siempre la proteja
Alina você é top! Muito bom trabalho parabéns
Si si gafas para protejer tus ojos es maravilloso lo q haces es tan especial lo q sientes volar y mas asi sencillo que parece eres un gran piloto
No eye protection, goggles, helmet? Kinda crazy. Cool lil plane.
She has a windscreen 😊
Ears protection 🎉
There will always be that guy….
Everything you mention costs weight and isn't really necessary. On my Weedhopper, performance was so critical I would wear only a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops! 😂 I only had 17hp pulling me along though.
Helmet? 😅
THAT is cool looking there now. How much is one of them to buy.And do u need a license to fly one in Florida
Wow!!! Amazing and cool aviation stuff! 👍
LOL....I miss those days. I was a Civil Air Patrol also. Being awarded the Solo Flight Scholarship was one of the greatest things to happen in my life. While a cadet my logbook ended up with flight time in numerous high performance aircraft, and I even got simulator time in the space shuttle. I bet the Air Force Academy already has somebody tracking her progress!
Какая смелая девочка!!!
@madwelder8490 , она даже без парашюта ❤️ !
I’m in Rhode Island and I absolutely need this experience in my life….anyone know if they do a tandem version somewhere in New England?
A small kid... So confidence.... Hats off to her🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Regards from 🇮🇳 india
Alina russian name//
It's exciting to see someone's first flights, it brings back memories
She actually put her phone away. I'm shocked.
Plane & Girl,
Both are amazing 💁🏼♀️ 🤩 ✈️
What a cool disposition this young pilot has. I think she should be wearing safety googles. I rode motorcycles. A bumble bee in the eye at 20 mph is no fun!
Tolles Mädel in ihrer fliegenden Kiste!
💪👍😎🇦🇹🌹
I am so jealous! Enjoy that environment but definitely Protect those eyes to ride another day. GREAT JOB!
Have been thinking of getting an Aerolite and found your channel. Fantastic!
Only negative would be the cell phone. On previous video of Alina flying about over water, she had some need to text and was even letting go of the stick to text A LOT. Can envision worse outcome flying and texting compared to driving and texting. Have the beautiful young lady leave the cell phone on the ground!
Because she is 14 and all she requires it to answer her dads calls every ten min or so to make sure you know…
@@matthewnelson1108 It seems they do a plane "radio check" before take off. If so then why insert a distracting cell phone into mix? Letting go of the yoke/stick to fiddle with the phone could potentially be trouble with an unexpected gust of wind. Maybe this plane has a dampened stick or is super stable. It does appear easy to fly.
The point was that the cell phone is an unnecessary distraction when there is primary communications via the much easier to operate radio.
Aside from the cell phone, Mr. Scott is doing a great job of teaching Alina how to fly, not to mention the two going to Oshkosh!!!
Her radio is to communicate with Air traffic. Apart from that yes I do like how her dad is teaching her
She looks just calm and relaxs..
This video put such a smile on my face when she pulled out onto that runway and went full power with full-size planes all around her. Just so cool.
Отважный летчик, умело пилотирует! Спасибо за шикарный полет..!
It makes my heart glad to see young people who find what the freedom of flight means to their soul. There is nothing like it to compare and...if taken serious, it can lead to many, many years of safe flying enjoyment. It broke my heart when I was forced to realize that I was to old to still fly safely and enjoy the thrill that only flying brings. Those who have done this a lifetime understand this. The Poem High Flight truly says it all...."And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God".
Fly and enjoy!
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you.
Ниче се какая бесстрашная деваха👍💪
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉... Moça, seus pais devem sentir muito orgulho de você e suas proezas no ar. Parabéns, e se cuide melhor, para sua segurança e bem estar. Tenho filhas (3) mais ou menos da sua idade... uma, é Biomédica... outra, Enfermeira cirúrgica... e a outra, Técnica de Radiologia. Nenhuma delas puxou pra mim, AMAR aviação !!! 🇧🇷
The last thing is to criticise a love for flying, but the risks involved should be managed she should already know the dangers of hitting an insect at 30mph, do t fly open cockpit with out eye protection, don’t teach flying before safety, I hope she has a long and happy association with flying
What are they feeding the kid?😮 I can't believe how posed she is. Amazing 👏🏾 👏🏾 😊
Plenty of advice here from the "Experts", I'll leave the flight safety to them.
My Penny's worth is that I know of four instances of 'Oh My God, I DROPPED IT!' moments from paramotors and hang-gliders... two phones, a GoPro, and a very expensive SLR camera.
A lanyard, or some other kind of strap for your phone could be a cheap and worthwhile investment.
I'm jealous as hell... keep it up as long as you enjoy it... have a ball!
