First Flight With My Wife as a Private Pilot!
In this video, my wife and I went flying together for the first time since I got my private pilot license! It was such an amazing experience! We flew over our parents' houses and then around the mountains. Hope you enjoy the video!

👋 About Me 👋
I started college in 2021 and originally had my eyes set on becoming a doctor. After I realized that wasn't for me, I started studying business and finance while working sales jobs during the summer. After selling Pest Control and an internship in finance, I decided to look into becoming a pilot. A couple of flights later, I was hooked and decided that making money while flying jets doesn't sound too bad! Subscribe to follow the journey!

Nice video! My Fiancé is so scared when I took her up for the first time, she closed her eyes on take off! I’m actually quite jealous of the scenery in some parts of America. Being UK based, we have quite a flat landscape.

Hey brother, that was a nice flight! It was really cool seeing that Cessna cardinal up in the air! It seems like your wife really enjoyed the flight as well which is cool. My wife is usually terrified! Keep doing what you’re doing, definitely nicely done!

What a great video. Glad you can enjoy this with someone you love. I almost bought a cardinal but my son and I are just too big as the cardinal has a slightly forward CG relative to the 172. Tell your wife we fly at 1959 Piper Comanche at speeds far faster than that cardinal. Look forward to watching more of your videos and the adventures you share.

I enjoyed watching your video. You make a great couple. I flew for 30 years and enjoyed flying many different airplane types. My advice to you is to always keep it safe, and never show off. Plan every flight, and fly the plan. Never crash at an airshow because only the people in the front row can see, is my old dad joke. Wishing you a wondeful flying career. I have subscribed

Solid advice. My next flight will tick me over 300 total hours since I started training in November 2017, I still treat every single flight like I've just got my PPL. I don't take unnecessary risks and plan my flight and my plan B (and C, if needed). Best thing I ever did after PPL was get an instrument rating - it's made me a much better pilot. Also subscribed :)

Hey Luke, really enjoying the videos man! I’m looking into becoming a Pilot and I heard that you can take a few FAA Exams and passing them with the help of Sportys and Sheppards before going into flight school to speed up the process. Is this true?

@@FlyWithLukeD ah okay makes sense now!
Wonderful video of young love sharing adventures together. So very happy for you. If there is any advice I could give concerning your marriage it would be to learn the two most important words you will ever know....."Yes Dear". Some might think this is a bit of humor but at 78 Years old and married all my life, "happy wife, happy wife". Now concerning your aviation career; you have passed your required FAA flight test but you are not qualified to fly safely. Nothing on your check ride will prepare you for an engine out on T/O. This will get you killed if you are not prepared in advance for it. There are several YT channels that teach how to fly safely: Pilot Debrief, Probable Cause, FlyWire, Blancolirio all go through what's know in the airline industry as AQP (Advanced Qualification Procedures). I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the scenarios that will kill you if you are not prepared. You need to know this maneuvers and prepare yourself for them. You owe it to your beautiful wife.

@@FlyWithLukeD as a young student pilot in 1965 during my training of stall recovery, for some reason I just never made the connection what would actually happen in a stall at low level. And from the crashes I see on YT, I am not alone in that feeling. Loss of thrust on takeoff and you have got to get that nose down or you're dead. Knowing what I know now, I would never attempt a turn back below 800'. Stay ready
