- I started flight training on March 20th 2020, on July 20th 2022 I finally completed my Private Pilot Check Ride. The thing is I never informed my dad that I did and decided to surprise him by taking him flying under the ruse that it would only be a High Speed Taxi for maintenance.

This is so good. You didn't leave him to think you were flying a plane you weren't supposed to and make him panic. Had the papers, and that made it all very clear. It makes it a lot trickier that your old man is in the industry, but he never knew. You thought of everything you needed to. Congrats on the license!
He didn’t even check the papers lmao he knew exactly what was happening ! Lol was great
Yeah he didn't even look at that paperwork lol
His father is busy taking pictures@@TheRedRaven_
I did the same with my dad but I was not a licensed pilot or a pilot at all. I had a little issue at the takeoff but I’m fine now. Love you dad, RIP.
@@milky.funland The only funny thing in here is your big ass forehead and you already know that shit can't be legal, shit shines brighter than betelgeuse.
@@24capI don’t remember asking for your opinion big man
@@24cap yeah, jking is legal
@@24cap go away kid
@@24cap the fact that you spam emojis already screams that you are at max 9-10 years old(and you don’t have a brother). we also do not need people like you on the internet
impressed his dad so much he recorded with TWO devices at once. Hats off gentlemen.
Hopefully he actually remembers more about the flight than just "getting a good shot."
@@MikeKayK getting a good shot is to remember and treasure the memory from the best perspective
@@MikeKayK What are you on about
@@O.Reagano Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm on about, buddy.
@@upisntdownsilly You don't need a "good shot" that lasts the whole experience to remember and treasure a memory. I promise you that people were treasuring memories before fancy cameras. Now, their only memories are of them trying to get a "good shot" through a camera instead of being present and taking in the experience with their own senses.
Dads face was priceless. I started my ground school 25 years ago and because of work and family never finished. I’m 64 now , moving to Yuma and this is STILL on my bucket list
It's never too late man
You should at least get yourself to the point to where you solo.
@@honeybadgerflys8162 yup. That’s my goal
@@andyrusten5748 Good luck! I hope to begin my schooling by April of 2023.
Awesome man! Awesome
The radio “issue” on the ground. That was awesome. And then pops reaction of just pure joy. Congrats on the ppl and safe flying
That was the entire plan, the fact that he wasn't talking into the mic properly, which I knew instantly but played along with it, just went along perfectly with the plan I had set up
Not PPL recreational
Genius. 👍😊
I did the same back in the early 90s. My parents, aunt and uncle were on vacation and stopped by to visit. I took my dad and uncle flying. My uncle recorded a video. Even though dad could hardly see he could still fly the plane. He never finished his license in the 40s. Mom had no idea what we had gone to do. We played the video when we got back. Mom cried. It was dad’s stories that got me into flying and they paid for much of my aeronautical engineering degree. What a memory. Thanks for bringing it back.
That is beautiful, congrats
Great story. I wish you all the best
Congrats on your parents paying for college.
@@gackleballsg2034 I paid for half. I worked at a printing company in town after class and weekends.
@@gackleballsg2034 you sound mad lol. If someone’s parents are in a financial position when they are able to help with any education fees why wouldn’t they … I know if it was my kid I would.
He's lucky to have you include him in your life like that. I lost my son last year. He just turned 18. I was so looking forward to doing things in life with him like this. Always cherish your time together while you have each other. 🙏
Condolences for your loss. 🙏🏽
I'm so sorry
❤ bless you both ❤
No words can describe the effects of death of a loved one or family....just keep moving & growing..over the years lost my whole family, a Sibley,
May he your son test in peace. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you and your family recovered well.
dude when he is gone you can look on this and enjoy the moment of joy in his face. he really was proud of you and is atm. you gave him an experience he didn't expect.. enjoy it looking back if you can.
This hits close to home as last week my uncle, his brother, passed away out of no where in his sleep. Something that I think of heavily and pray that day never comes soon.
@@TheRecreationalPilot sorry for the loss in your family man. It is not an easy thing to get over in most cases. Thinking of the good times even though sounding cliche... Well it in a way helps them live on in our memories. Still a tough one to get over but hey knowing you shared some good moments with them and they with you is a good thing to reflect on especially in the lowest of times.
This was great to see, you are a very confident young man, who your dad is evidently very proud of. 👏
The smile on his face was priceless. The first pump classic. Life is about making memories to me. I know he was smiling ear to ear watching his footage back. Good stuff
this warms my heart. wish i could make my dad this proud.
Same here
I'm sure you have and don't even realize it.
Definitely relatable
I totally relate. ❤
I feel like I haven’t made my dad proud and wish I could .. I mean I was headed down the wrong path for sure in my teenage yrs , since then , I’ve gotten married 16 yrs ago had my son who is 13 now , been employed the last 25 yrs , never not had a job unless it was a day or 2 to start a new one .. and just work take care of my family and try to always do the right thing. I’m a hard worker , haven’t taken a single day off in 10 months I work 7 days a week … But yet I still feel like I haven’t Made him proud .. idk man
Dad was having a ball capturing pictures and making memories with you! What a beautiful moment of a father and son.
Dad was a champ, humoring his son. I'm sure he knew all along. 😂
Well , that’s what I said in today’s comment that I posted , and he even text me back saying different ! But hey , we’ll never know for sure ! But I’m with you , which makes it better if we’re right ! DAD FOOLS SON , INTO LETTING SON THINK DIFFERANTLY 🛬🛫✈️🛫🛬🛩🚅
He knew...🤣
He even came prepared with his SLR camera and gimangous lens😂
@@allenl9214 Doesn't look like a particularly big lens to me - perhaps a nice wide 14-24/2.8
You gotta love the dads that bring the cameras to whatever the situation is because you may never know…😉
My dad in a nutshell. He doesn't go anywhere without it.
I did the same thing with my dad. My airport is in town so I told him that we were going out to dinner… all of a sudden, we turned into the entrance of an airport. The weather was perfect, no wind, severe clear evening flight. He had a great time but never got dinner. My best flight ever. I’m so happy to have this as a memory with my dad.
I just love how your dad so quickly trusted you! Awesome!
That’s my first thought. He wasn’t worried one bit. Complete pride and trust.
Not much choice once the nose lifts off the ground lol
@@spannaspinna You must not have gone on vacation in a car full of family. Like ever in your entire life. What are you like 8 years of age?
Also not sure what your point is, are you implying planes cannot land? Or implying his father has no reason to be scared once off the ground? Because both of those points would be dead-ass wrong.
@@spannaspinna "Take the wheel Jesus"
@@Cryaboutmyhandle not nearly as much as you , you’d be one of those pack a day crayon eaters , I hope you can get that under control soon
Thanks for sharing this. Must admit this got me a little misty eyed. I managed to take my dad up once in my RV-9A that I'd built in 2019 and it was one of the best moments of my life. We lost him a year later at 87, so that was the only flight I did with him, he was so thrilled and proud and it was an incredible and unforgettable moment. Savor your moments like this.
I'm so sorry for your loss. What a blessing to have a dad for 88 years
I love that look of total surprise and pride on your dad's face as you pull back and get in the air - priceless, and all caught on camera to show the grandkids one day.
Pretty slick unplugging his headset like that 😆 🤣🤣🤣
That mixed with the Active Noise Cancellation but into the headset and the increase in RPM (louder engine noise) he couldn't hear me even with the headset unplugged. Had some time to plan this out and it worked perfectly.
@@TheRecreationalPilot love it when a plan comes together
Way to go, man! Dad must've been so proud to see you take off and land! So happy for you both!
How bad ass man. The landing was super smooth and that’s so awesome that you were able to share that with your dad
Your dads so stoked. He looks like a very reserved character, but he's not even trying to hide it! You should be proud of yourself. Awesome! I'll have my private next week
I've seen that look that your dad has in my own father. An image and feeling that can never be erased. I know few are actually as lucky as us, but I wish all were. Surprise, joy, pride, but mostly love. Moments like this show the best of us, let's keep it going! Make someone smile today. 🤙🙂
This is AWESOME. Your dad seemed to be super excited for you. That’s too cool. My father just passed away a month ago. Would love to keep making more memories like this. Keep it up.
My thoughts are with you, and I believe your dad is too, he’ll be watching over you 🤗
Blessings and peace to you and your family 🙏
@@MoonSpinners thank you so much. I truly needed to hear those words You never know who’s going through what in life so just treat everyone with respect and let’s be happy. APPARENTLY life’s to short.
Also I didn’t mention before but im 37 and I just lost my wife to cervical cancer last April 😢 and my dad to cancer a month ago. I been taking it very very hard. It’s scary when you can’t control your own emotions. I say this to WHOEVER reads this that if you ever see ANYONE bummed out sad or crying, take the minute to stop and let them know you see them and you care.
Seriously reading your short, to the point response meant EVERYTHING to me. Im trying to figure out what direction I have to go in life now I lost what meant most to me. My was a Nashville country music recording artist in the late 90’s - early 00’s. But I wanna say RIP 🪦 to my poor, sweet, lovely, beautiful wife Lyndsei Tuttle. I’m so sorry you had to live through that pain for so long baby, I’d of switched places with you no hesitation doll. It’s just Me and Our son who missses you severally babe and could really use your guidance you blesssed him with when he was only 6 months old. BTW my sons mother walked away from us when he was only 2 months old and I promise I haven’t heard one word from her since. He is 19. cause I would not let her get an abortion lis 19. She said she was too young to have a kid. She was 19. Now my son Jeff the 3rd is 19 years old. And a HUGE RIP to the best father a kid could ask for. Big Jeff Tuttle Sr of Monroe Mi. We didn’t have everything at times growing up BUT my dad always let me know he loved me every phone call or conversation and never let me go without And those memories I’ll never forget. My father was the DJ at the radio station here I. Our hometown of Monroe mi. 98.3 Nash icon. His saying was (Playing the music that made country great). Check him out if anyone wants to read further into my fathers illness. He was a big deal I. Our town and they basically shut the town down for his funeral. Hurts me ever more seeing how much my dad actually meant to people. Makes you appreciate everything more. Thank you all for listening. I’m Jeff Tuttle Jr of Monroe also if anyone wants to put a face to my comment. Lol. I pray 🙏 whoever reads this will truly be blessed today. Especially taking the minute to read my book I just basically wrote 😂. Kiss your wife for me and call or hug your father. You only have 1 actual father. And my life’s plans were devoted to my wife when we married so how the he’ll is it even gonna be possible for me to even wanna think about dating again. I’m 37 and was married for 14 years. I TRULY devoted all of me for all of her for the long run and I SWEAR we NEVER ever fought argued anything. We was just happy to be able to wake up next to each other everyday. Anyone Diggs up my dad and wife’s obituaries you will see. 14 years later I was STILL personally writing her notes like we did when we first started talking to each other. She told me never stop writing her love letters so I TRIED to write her daily but I missed some in between but just that little note meant the world to my wife. Life ain’t fair at times but like my preacher preaches to me, you gotta have Faith, you just got to. I don’t ever want anyone to feel how I do and did when trying to grieve the loss of my wife then have to grieve the loss of my father 1 year later. I still got the LAST voicemail my wife left me on my phone and the last voicemail my dad left me so I am gonna upload them to RUclips so everyone can hear their voices. My dad had that perfect radio voice. Man. Errr. I love you all. If you read all this hurt and love I’m spilling out to you all then I appreciate you seriously
@@jefftuttlejr …I didn’t think my words would have made any difference, but I’m so pleased to know you read them. I’m truly sorry for your loss. Two people that mean the most to you in your life to have passed within a short space of time must be taking it’s toll on your mind and body. I lost my mum 6 years ago, she was my best friend, my confidante and my saviour. I still feel her with me, I know she’s hanging around spying on me 😂 three years ago, I lost my 18 year old cat two weeks before Christmas, and I lost my dad two weeks after Christmas, then the pandemic hit. It’s been an awful time, but I’ve survived and so will you. You won’t get over the loss you’ve experienced, but you’ll learn to live alongside it as each day comes and goes. You’re still young. You don’t know what the future holds, and my advice is to not think too far ahead, take things one day at a time, and allow your emotions. You may feel ok today, but be a blubbering mess tomorrow. Allow it all. I’m in the U.K. I live alone with my cat Ziggy. (You can see him in the videos I’ve posted) life is hard, but we have to be harder. I hope you can get comfort from your son and any other family and friends you may have. I hope you have hobbies, because they will really help. I’m an artist, so I can lose myself for hours when doing painting or drawing, and I’m lucky enough to get commissions, so I’m always busy. Good luck Jeff. 🤗🇬🇧
@@jefftuttlejr Hope you're doing well man. Going through something similar at the moment, but i'm trying to stay positive.
I did this with my mother 15 years ago when I got my license. Except I told her I had my license once we were in the plane and she asked where the pilot was. Wish I would have filmed it.
😂
Awwww I am sure your dad is so proud of you!! I took my dad flying several times during my flight career and he was so proud. Congratulations to you!
Honestly, this made me tear up a bit. He was so proud of you at that moment...a moment you both will never forget. Heck, I'm proud of you and I don't even know you! I haven't flown in over 10 years now and deeply regret never taking my dad up when I was current. He even told me one time that he would love to fly with me. Gutted. Like your dad, I know my dad would be so proud of me and would have loved to see first hand and be a part of my first flight experiences. We both still have air in our lungs, so I guess it is still not too late. Thanks for sharing. I hope to get back into aviation again soon. All the best!
Your dads smile is priceless! I think you made his day for sure
Proud of you for getting your pilots license!! Such a humble experience to watch your dad be so happy. Good for you and your family!
Your Dad's smile when you told him you lied was a 100% pride. I've never seen someone so proud to get lied to !!!
Your Dads reaction was priceless, one proud Father right there, and congratulations! 🙂 👌 🤝
Loved your video. What a great surprise! Your dad's reactions were so heartwarming. I will never forget the first time I took my dad up. A day you will never forget. Congrats on getting your license. Be safe and learn lots.
This was beautiful to watch! Your dad is so proud of you!! What a great surprise!!
I just love to see how happy your father is because of your surprise ! Clear skies my friend !
What an awesome son and a very proud dad. I love those guys.
That's one proud Dad! This was really nice to see, thank you.
What an unforgettable surprise! Taking your dad flying when he least expected it must have been an incredible moment. Sharing your passion and revealing your accomplishment in such a unique and thrilling way is a memory that both of you will cherish forever. It's a testament to the strong bond you share and the joy of creating precious memories together above the clouds.
He was so excited. This is hilarious. Congrats on your license!
Congratulations! What a great surprise. And the fact that you were able to pull it off with your Dad already knowing a lot about your flying is even more impressive.
Beautiful moments between a good son and a proud father
From one son to another that’s a helluva moment brother! My Father passed away 2 years ago this brought a smile to me today! I’m a Barber, even cut my Fathers hair one last time, honestly this made me smile today Good Stuff.
That landing was butter....nice. And dad's smile, laugh and fist pump at the end were priceless. Well done!
That was so so great to watch. The surprise on his face. He was buzzing for you! Absolutely made my day seeing that. Thank you
Your dad was so happy. Big smiles all the way and even trying to do some selfies it looked like. That's awesome!
You did a great job with all your planning and how you made it a surprise. Also, that's really nice you're so close to your family. I hope that doesn't change for many years.
aw man, @10:40 what a great moment... that look of joy and your pops being super proud of his son. AWESOME!
Finally a youtube video worth watching! Your dad's expression is awesome. He is so proud of you! Great job!!
No apologies required. What a great video! Your Dad's reaction to this was so good and I am happy you get to share this memory and future moments with him for years to go!
Its awesome to see such a proud father, congratulations!!!
i never met my dad and have no relationship with him. my son is five and this video brought me to tears of hope to have the opportunity to experience something like this. you are blessed to have such a relationship with your father and the execution and dedication to do something that makes you happy is what we as dads all dream of. beautiful video in all forms. your old man filming everything like a lunatic is proof this was something very special for him. memories are rare and he wanted every ounce of documentation. kudos and god bless. ❤
Your dad has two cameras (the phone and the camera) and the biggest face of pride! He will never forget this day.
Your dad had a smile on his face. Sure he's proud of you bud!
What a wonderful son , you did your dad proud
Thank you for that video, You can see how proud your dad is of you, I had a smile in my face through out the video.
Father and son videos are very special.
Dad I love and miss you so much
Your dad seems like the sweetest man. I love everything about this video :)
The unplugging to take off was the smoothest ahahahah... love it
Priceless reaction indeed. And nothing like an awesome landing with a first time passenger. Congrats.
Congratulations Sir. The look on your Dad's face was priceless. Well done
Cherish your father ❤
It must feel amazing having a dad this proud of you! ❤️❤️
I love it. Great job. Man he was a happy and proud dad!! Good for you! I remember my first flights as a licensed pilot. Pretty thrilling.
Congrats! always nice to see someone getting their wings!
Great surprise - congrats to you & your pleasant father! I wish I could have done this with my late dad too! 👍
The look of that proud dad ..PRICELESS!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!🙏❤
That was super slick pulling your dad’s headset announcing your departure 👏🏽
What a great surprise for your dad!
I really enjoyed this surprise for your dad! Truly wonderful! Thanks for video!
How proud your dad must have been of you. Well done to you. What a beautiful memory for you, your dad and family. Happy and safe flying always fella. ❤
LOVE IT!.....When I took my Dad up for the 1st time in a Cessna...he knew I had a license, but
on climb out he said "LET'S GO BACK, TURN AROUND" 😄 ...(small plane climbs so slow compared to an airliner) he did not like that.
Your Dad was great, no fear, only happiness.
Hi! Some how this video came up in my feed and I’m glad it did. I loved how you surprised your dad and his face when you took off. You can tell how proud of you he is!! Congratulations!!
Same
That is priceless, it was awesome to see you Dad excited.
What a feeling that must be, you must be so proud of that accomplishment! How fun to be able to bring your dad up like that! My little cousin got his too,we’re very proud of him❣️
Got my licens in 1978, 150, 152, 172 Skyhawk, and owned a 1946 BC12D Taylorcraft.....good flying buddy, and watch those crosswinds, and never forget Carb Heat....🙂
I’m so happy for you 🥳
On the 4th April 1990 I did my first solo in a Piper PA38.
I didn’t tell my Dad that I was going to do my first solo that day so not to worry him.
When I got back home with my proudly owned solo certification he was in the living room watching the telly, I stuck my head around the door and armed with a big smile I said “dad, I’ve just done my first solo” he replied “so you’ve got your license then?” I said “no! I’ve just flown an airplane to 1,000ft and landed it on my own” he replied disappointedly “Oh is that it?” 😢
The video you were referring to of the guy not telling his friend he was a pilot, and he flew him around is what I just watched and at the end it your video pops up. That must be a nice feeling flying/surprising your dad, I know he’s super proud of you. Congratulations on becoming a licensed pilot 🙏🏾👏🎉!!
Starting to see a few more of these. The feeling you get when you accomplish a goal like this is difficult to put into words. Its something you just have to be there to witness. Thank you for sharing!
the dad with his camera out is just classic
This guy is good! Never let his Dad know what was going on and he did it in such a way that Dad had no clue. Loved how prepared he was for this ride. Props (you see what I did there eh?) to Dad for the obvious support. Not a single negative thing was said about the surprise. Great job y'all and congrats on the license.
I love that he’s just so happy to be there 🙏
Best part is you can see how proud and happy he is to record you and your trip. Signs of a great father.
Legend has it the Dad still has the camera and phone in his hands. Great video 👌
😂
This is awesome, I bet your dad is so proud! A fellow Hoosier daddy too!
Great job, and I love his reactions! My favorite flight to date is taking my dad up as my first passenger.
This is so sweet! I love this. Your dad is so proud of you. Awww. 🥰
Respect to the pilot for staying serious about precautions although he’s recreationally flying
If you don’t follow them you could die
Tomahawk, the best. Congratulations
A proud Dad right there thanks for sharing.
Great congratulations for getting your pilots license, proud time surprising your Dad and he is excited 🙏🌟
In a Traumahawk no less.... Awesome!
Once you got into the air your dad was moving his camera so much he didn’t know what to film lmao that is going to be one interesting video to rewatch lol I don’t think he held it still more than 2-3 seconds at any given time in the first half of the video lmao
Amazing. What a great way to surprise your dad. The look on his face is priceless. Congrats on getting your license!
This video kinda made my day, so nice seeing you two.
I love this. I’m in the process of getting my ppl, for aerial survey work. Dad is my best friend.. and thinks I’m busy trying to become a ship captain (because I love being on the water) Little does he know, I prefer the skies 😉 I can’t wait to do this with him. 😅❤
My Flight Instructor Devin did survey work for a bit, his RUclips channel is Pilot Devo, changed from CFI Live. He did most of it over Springfield Illinois. He's got some stories
@@TheRecreationalPilot I will definitely subscribe to him as well! Thank you for the recommendation. Hope to bump into you at OshKosh next year! Fly safe 😜
@@hannahfrazier4623 haha thank you I will! I should plan a trip out there with Devin, would be fun.
@@TheRecreationalPilot definitely do it! I’ll hook you guys up with some free snacks, and a nice low lead discount ☺️
In this economy that'll be more than appreciated!! And being a fat guy myself free snacks is enough to buy me out hahah
Dude, your dad's reaction was AWESOME! He was clearly surprised but also clearly trusted you in whatever you were doing.
I also have to give you props for that LANDING. Just watch for 10secs starting at 9:52 and pay attention to your dad's camera... and this was ONE WEEK or less from your checkride! You'll be a great pilot. Your dad's camera movement on touchdown speaks for itself, no other words needed, congrats and best of luck to you!
He’s so happy and proud of you! I’m sure he was pleasantly surprised
I did a similar thing to my mom in 1998, 3 weeks after earning my license.
Took her for a ride in a 152. Ya know the cheap plastic vent tubes just above each seat in the corners of the ceiling? Well, they regularly rattle out and fall on the floor. My moms just happened to fall in her lap about 1 minute after liftoff.
I proclaimed, "Hhuuuh! Wing bolt!" I was 32 years old. The look on my moms face right before she grounded me was priceless.
Great video.. Your dad looked so proud!
Dad is so preoccupied with the cams and phone he cant just sit back and enjoy it.
He's filming to enjoy a great memory for years to come.
Life lesson: Put your cameras away and really enjoy the ride!
Dad is so proud and you are proud of him. Great surprise.
Such a proud father. I love it. He can't get enough footage!!!
Theres NO Way your dad wouldn't know.. 🙄
Good stuff. Always good to have a feel good father/son video like this. Congratulations sir and well done!
Wow!! What a fantastic job of surprising your dad. You did good. I’ve gotten as far as landing and braking but not actually flying. His smile was priceless.
