BOEING 747 Cockpit Landing - My First Flight as a Captain : A Dream Comes True ✈︎ Istanbul Airport

After years of flying as a First Officer on the Boeing 747, I finally achieved my dream of becoming a Captain. It was a long and challenging process, but it was all worth it when I finally took the left seat for my first flight as a Captain. In this video, i share my first flight and landing after completed trainings and line check. I hope this video will inspire others to pursue their dreams.

Sadly, my dream was never achieved I am almost 64 years old now and when I was 12, I had to start wearing glasses. Back then, it was over if you had glasses...So I ended up being a dental surgeon for 40 years...and never liked it...Just retired last year...finally. You are a very lucky man, let me tell you ! Congratulations

[@skipwinston6910]

That being said. I’m sure you improved the lives of very many people.

[@1983dmd]

@@skipwinston6910 I hope so...Thank you !

[@theflyingmusician7]

It must be incredibly difficult to accept what life has presented you with in this way. It happened too early for you. I am truly sorry. Sometimes words are simply not enough to express everything. I send you my deepest respects ..

[@MK-rn2hm]

A dental surgeon is a dream of many. You actually achieved it sir.

[@ERICREDGE]

Most boys dream to become a pilot and so did I. I somehow lost the dream after high school and became an architect. I have never been sorry for this decision as it is an extremely exciting and rewarding career. I think I would have become very bored with twitching dials and monitoring instruments.

[@dept2]

Congrats! The general public has NO idea how much training & experience & skill someone needs to be Captain. Very special!!!

[@theflyingmusician7]

Yes, this is a really long process. Thank you so much Yes, this is a really long process.

Congrats, Captain, my dream was to be a captain of the boeing 777 after finishing first officer. 777 is my favorite aircraft.

[@flightlab6229]

mine too. I love it, so much suphesticated aircraft ever built

[@dimsumtho12gas61]

@@flightlab6229 its sad that the 777 will be retired in 2028 i think, but boeing will replace 777x, so I think I would have a chance to be a 777x pilot

[@theflyingmusician7]

I wish you all the best on your journey to becoming a captain. I hope we can celebrate your success one day. 💫🙏

@@theflyingmusician7 thank you captain

[@davisneil]

this warms my heart. the start, when they put on the stripes, he looks at the guy on the left so happy, excited, his face the textbook definition of happiness..especially when he laughs and looks down, trying to hide the tears! (0:08) . So nice to see. The senior check captains either side of him look so proud and it looks like these guys have worked together and been friends for years! The flying part is great, fantastic landing. Im sure some ppl wonder why its so silent like someones in a mood or something..it really isnt. its a sterile cockpit. Below 10,000 feet, theres no talk about anything other than the aircraft and flight. Congrats. I always wanted this buy sadly let down medically.

[@theflyingmusician7]

You have raised some excellent points. Your comment has truly made me happy. It is only natural to be emotional after all the hard work and dedication over the years. Thank you so much. 💫😊

[@robje4824]

First of all: many congratulations. Secondly: free tip from a 12.000hr captain: do not forget to also FLY the machine without autopilot in approach from time to time. Keep those manual skills high in case you need them. This was a clear sky with excellent meteorological conditions. Use these conditions to fly the machine whenever possible. Too many accidents have happened because pilots lost the simple hand flying skills. Anyhow, the focus lies on your achievement of becoming a captain. Enjoy it, like the dentist says, you are a priviledged person. Cherish it! Happy landings captain!

[@rainscratch]

Sound advice! And overall nice comment.

[@theflyingmusician7]

First of all, thank you very much. Such a comment from an experienced captain like you really makes me happy. I will take your comment into account. I wish you happy landings too captain. I present my respects 💫
