    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!

      i really like the vid where a dude brings his best friend for a plane ride and the best friend is the most ride or die friend ever, he thinks they just stole a plane and he just says your the person i trust the most, and then continues to just laugh and be amazed. and the guy only told him when they landed again. pretty sure its caled something like my friend doesnt know im a pilot

    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.

      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

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.

    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 🙏🏾👏🎉!!

    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.

    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.

    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?” 😢
