  • For the first time in my 20 year career as an airline pilot, I finally got to fly my parents on one of my trips. We went to Kauai, Hawaii and I got to show them one of the most beautiful places in the world.

    I will never forget taking my parents for a short cross country flight in a Cessna 172. My father had been a pilot many years ago but had not flown for many years so it was quite a thrill to take him flying. Both my parents have passed now but I will never forget how much he enjoyed getting to fly with me!

    @johnsp1221 Před 2 lety +4

    What a beautiful memory for you and your parents😂. I just recently started watching your videos and I'm amazed at how humble you are towards your parents they must be so proud. Becoming a pilot for me has always been a life dream but cut short due to medical. So as a frequent flyer I'm able to still experience the dream even as a passenger. I love flying it's a passion I have had since I was 4 and I am always humble with the flight crews as an example my wife and I have been married for 25 years and in all that time she never would fly. And one day I surprised her with a trip, almost didn't happen but she finally gave in as I told her it would be a memory of a lifetime. So she was nervous and I do mean nervous once we boarded I pull the flight attendant aside and explained to her this was my wife's first time Ever flying and the entire flight she went out of her way to make sure my wife was comfortable and ok from take off to landing. For me it was the best flight. Flight crews don't get the praise for what they do and have to go through. I hope for a future fight I will meet you. You seem so humble and great for your career and as a parent myself I'm proud of my daughter and 2 sons. That's you for sharing such a wonderful moment.
