Tucker, watching this video brought tears to my eyes. twenty two years ago I was taking fight lessons to get my private pilots license. I had promised my dad that I would take him up in a Cessna 152 after I get my license. During the time I was taking my flight lessons, my dad was diagnosed Alzheimer's disease. By the time I got my license, my dad was in such bad shape with Alzheimer's, he didn't know our family anymore. I still attempted to take dad to the airport, I had already reserved a rental plane, but it was too hard for my to help him from the wheel chair to the plane. He just wanted me to take him back home. About a month later, my dad past away. I'm glad you were able to take your dad flying and even though he was scared, I'm sure he enjoyed it.

Wow. Similar story here. Shared aviation with my dad growing up (model planes, etc). Got my PPL when I was about 48. Dad started going to fly-ins with me. We were going to be fly-in pals for ever. Went to three. Then cancer stopped him from being able to fly. Crushes me to think about what we could have shared.

Rip to your dad..my dad also died last year in feb. Pain never goes away

Tucker....I don't say much, here, since i'm old enough to be your grandpa, but your dad is awesome!! For someone obviously afraid of heights (a very real fear, and not to be trivialized) he also obviously loves and trusts you. Things like this flight are in the 'Dad' job description, but a lot of guys would have bailed out on actually flying. After all, this ain't Little League, y'know?? Great job, Mr. Gott! :-)

According to 23andme, your DNA defines if you're afraid of heights, so, yeah, it's very real!

Way to go Dad! Truly AWESOME!! You showed little fear the whole flight. That's supporting your child!!! You Rock!!!!

One could say your father is really... DOWN TO EARTH.

"Do you want to do the thingy that Jaclyn does sometimes?" "No, you can do that." "Oh. Ok. Well, uh." - totally killed your plan. hahaha savage dad

Grammar Police it’s not their native language. Please be respectful.

Very well done to Tuckers Father, he put alot of Trust in his Son and it takes courage to do this when your not good with heights.

Omg your dad was freaking out inside but still trusted your skills and you didn't mess with him-maturity.

Tucker, this brought tears to my eyes, I used to skydive, my Mom did 2 tandems, one of which i got a picture of me flying over and kissing her, she loved both jumps. My Dad couldnt be talked into it. Both have passed away now, i miss them a lot. Your Dad has raised a good son. Love them both and cherish these memories while you have them. Blue Skies brother. Be safe.

what an amazing father and son moment! cheers! :)

I took my Dad up flying after I got my pilots license. It was a blast! He was very happy for me, since he knew ever since I was little I wanted to learn how to fly.

Just sensational and just in time for Fathers Day. Wonderful to watch. You have a truly lovely Dad. I couldn’t help but admire the pride he has for you and the love you have for him. Well done Tucker. If I could have clicked like twice I would have.

You have a damned good father, Tucker ... I would be afraid to be out in front like that with nothing in front of me but air and no experience before going up. He has balls ... never doubt it, my friend ...

That made me smile I lost my Dad 14 years ago and he never got the chance to fly tandem with me but he did get up tandem with my instructor one time He loved it Hold on to your parents as long as you can Tucker and keep on living that dream 👍🏼

That's a good dad. And it's always good to see a close father and son.

Tucker, it was a pleasure to meet you Dad. I loved your ability to show him what you do and why you enjoy it so much. I second Norm Jacques' comments as I am also old enough to be your grandpa.

I too am not a fan of heights so I give huge props to your pop for strappin' in and going aloft with you. He had zero control over his situation which makes it even harder so give your pops a huge big thanks from the internets.

Your dad is awesome. Great to see his support for what you do Tucker. Any dad who is willing to go tandem on a PPG, especially when preferring his feet on Terrafirma, to share his son’s passion is among the best. Thanks for sharing.

I was there to witness the landing! Awesome!

Mr Gott. Thanks so much for sharing this with Tucker and all of us. There are so many of us that think a lot of Tucker. He’s been an inspiration to so many, even a 60 year old man that had a childhood dream to learn to fly. Been flying for a year. You’re a good sport and a Great Dad. Family is everything. Much Love.

What a great dad! A brave man is not one who has no reasonable fear, but one who faces their fear.

Its really great that you had the chance to take your dad up with you. I would say he is one very bracve man, as those who dont like hights must find sitting in a seat with nothing else round you has got to be really frightening and there is nothing wrong in admitting your feelings. To me it still is amazing that a bit of material some lines aand a harnes is about as close to standing in mid air as you can get.. I have seen the video of you and your mum, she is some lady, its nice to have such a close family, its worth the world . This was a good video and one i bet you keep for life well done.

Someone who's afraid of heights.... doing that shows enormous trust and confidence.. which clearly are well placed!! Great flying and bonding experience!!

Tucker!!! This video will be a cherished one for both of you forever I am sure. A very special moment. Makes us all want to go hang out with Dad for a bit. Great job to both of you.

Amazing time for you two Tucker... That's something you'll both cherish forever!

Aww. Great video Tucker. Your dad is a champ for braving it out.

Taking dad up for a ride was great Tucker! An experience he won't forget, you can count on that !

I am really thankful for your videos at these times Tucker. They give me a little sense of freedom.

The love & respect that you two have for each other is not only Epic, but more beautiful than any of the videos you have created and shared with us. If you need a bed and shower when cruising thru DFW area, you’re always welcome. Thank you very much for sharing.

So much awesome going on in this video!!!! Number one I love how he wasn’t even 20 feet off the ground and he’s yelling how awesome it is!! Even being afraid of heights!! I’m afraid of heights and I do this so I know exactly what he’s feeling!!! But it’s such a blessing that you’re able to do this with your dad. My dad died when I was 16 so I’ll never get the opportunity but I’m so glad that you are not wasting your opportunities and you’re sharing this with your love ones!! And also this is probably the most funny thing that I noticed you and your mom have the same haircut!!! Tucker got has the Mom due!!! 😂😂

What an awesome dad! He's a brave and trusting man.

That's so cool that you get to experience something like that with your dad making memories is what it's all about

Makin memories with DAD!!!!! Price less!!!

Dad is a trooper Tucker... you are lucky to have such a cool dad.. Cheers mate

That was great that you did that with your Father, That’s something that you will never forget. Keep up the good work Tucker. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Way to go Daddy Gott! Trying something your Son loves and is passionate about, sure gives you a better understanding as to why! Giving you two thumbs up for being a great father and not letting your fears get the best of you! Hugs to you both!

I know people who are afraid of heights and there's no way they would ever do that. Bravo Mr. Gott, way to support your son! Just shows how us parents would do anything for our kids;)

Go Dad Go... I really like your dad he is supportive and kept it together. I could tell he was not into the high up stuff but he loved the down low flying. Nice flight Tucker and you did smart not trying scare the pee out of him...

Amazing gift to your dad. You are a skilled Sapien in the right environment. Take care.

I miss my dad what a cool gift to give to your father. nice moment

Loved the father son connection. What a great Dad.

Kudos to your father! He held amazingly well for a person afraid of heights.

Mr. Gott YOU DA MAN!!! Now a KZread Channel and your set with retirement!. Great job Tucker! Looking forward to see the aviator that started it all... Mrs. Mom!

That was awesome! It wasn't doing flips, it wasn't flying under Bridges, it was just pure bonding time! Your channel is inspiring, and I want to learn to fly so badly, but I don't know anyone around here who flies... I also want to save up for my own scout as it seems to be a trusty rig!

Bravo for Dad! Not the easy thing to do for people who don't like to fly. That is totally awesome!

Nothing better then having your dad fly with you!!!

When I started my Canadian Ultralight training (think LSA 1300 Lbs. and 2 seats) I noticed (not for the first time) that I had a "heightened awareness" when at altitude but I REALLY wanted to fly so I went skydiving. Talk about aversion therapy. The standard exit from a high wing monoplane is horrendously frightening to anyone with a fear of heights! It is NOT like bailing out of the door like in the movies. You hang by your hands from the struts in 70 mile per hour winds. Watching the plane "fall away from me" was a huge relief! After that I was much more comfortable when flying. "I have traversed that space without an aircraft and done a little wing walking to boot!" so surely I am safer inside of one. I fell in love with flying under canopy at that time. It's a lot like playing around on a swingset when you were a kid and imagining that you were flying. Freefall is exciting but it's flying that I love.

What a great Dad. Good sport, trusts his son. Nice!

Awesome Dad

Videos like these would be the absolute best thing to look back on in later years when people pass.

Awesome that your POPs went tandem flying 😁👍🏼 He’s a Champ !

Man that is exactly what I want to do with my father. Epic memories even if his but was puckered. He had fun cause he was with you. That’s what it’s all about.

Your dad is a really cool guy. A good sport, but man! I love your mom! Saw both videos. Thanks Tucker.... been subbed for a while and I love your vids. Your easy-going attitude make these so much fun to watch. Thanks for what you do. :)

Dude that was an epic memory made with your dad. Wish I could fly with you. Your dad did really well and he is a great dad. Fly on brother!

Tucker I as well am old enough to be your father. Just like to say how awesome this is. I recently lost both my parent three month apart. This is a memory you have on film don't ever lose it. PS your Dad is awesome can't wait to see your Mom go up with you.

Your father is a "good father" like he said... but you are a great son!!! What a great bonding experience with your father. Cool Dad. Prob the best video of the year so far!

You've got great parents! Your dad is really cool. These are among the best of paramotoring videos. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Awww... I'll bet your Dad is very proud of you, Tucker.

I think he nailed it like a BOSS. Way to go man. My hats off to you Sir.

Your dad is very cool. Supports you all even though he is not an aviation enthusiasts . I want to do a tandem to see if it is for me....yes, I will be very nervous!!

Tucker, your dad is a good sport. He challenged himself to fly with you and did an awesome job! Nice work with editing the video! High five ✋ to you and your dad!

Best video yet, Tucker. In the years to come it will be one of, if not, your most memorable flights.

@tuckergott dude I have been waiting on this video forever. I am literally only half way through and think it is your best yet.

Wow. Congratulations Dad! That was so cool. That's a huge thing to do as you don't even like getting on the roof of your house!

This vid made smile till it hurt. You have an awesome Dad. Can't wait till you take Mom up.

Oh my gosh! This was so precious! I was smiling the whole time! Glad he had fun, even though he was a little scared. I'd be worried if he wasn't a little bit!

That is so cool that you guys can trust and risk together. Makes life tastier.

Very well done Mr Gott, that tool a lot of courage and I think you are very brave to do that sir - very well done!

Now this is what you call A video Tucker I can see you really enjoyed going up with your father can't wait to see you up with your mother

respect to Mr. Gott for getting up there! "i don't like being on the roof" -respect!

Your father trusting you with his life says a lot about how he feels about your proficiency and skills as a paramotor pilot. Good job Tucker.

Good Work DAD! You have an amazing son there.

God Bless your Dad, Tucker! No way I could do it, I'm absolutely afraid of heights!! Great video for you to cherish along with the flight with your Mom. Stay safe dude!

Great video Tucker. You should be very proud of you’re dad. He was obviously very nervous and made a real effort. That’s the sign of a proper father. Keep em coming buddy. Love em all.

Props to the father figure! Glad to see ol' dad is giving stuff a try for his boy!

What extremely loving father is so nice to that these days wonderful family 💕

Tucker well done your father should be proud of you! You are the Son that i would have been loved to had. best wishes , good luck and congrats to your father....

Your dad is cool Tuck. He did extremely well for someone who doesn't like heights. Nice going dad. I like that "I go on the roof cause I have to!!!".

Hey Tucker, great video as always. Next time you get comped a scout you should give away one of your old ones... I'm totally kidding around. Seriously though, I can watch your videos all day. The freedom that comes with flying must be amazing. Just being above all of the natural and man made obstacles on the ground must be really unique and exciting. Your buddy from one of your videos (motor out at 4,500 feet) said it best, "the world becomes smaller." I'm so intrigued by this sport and hope someday I have my own paramotor. I probably gotta wait until I hit the lottery or until my kids are out of college but I can still dream. Thanks again for the inspiration. You've opened up a world to me that I never knew existed. I'm looking forward to more content soon. Stay safe and enjoy the skies.

Your dad is very game to go up with you Tucker, you both did great!

That was a very nice flight with your dad. I’m glad he agreed to fly despite his dislike for heights and was able to share your love for paramotoring.

Nice job Tucker, good bonding time! Congrats to you and your pop.

Awesome! You guys sound similar. You may not hear it but I notice it. Of course you would - that's dad. You just made a memory that will mean more than gold to you one day. Count on it!

Good job Tucker! You just gave your Dad a great thing.

Tucker it’s so amazing to see that you have had the opportunity to fly with the people you love! I am so interested in paramoters and im saving my money to hopefully get one soon!

This is the kind of life you have when you have decent parents and are brought up with love and encouragement....

Way to go Dad!! 🙂🙂🙂. Very cool memory you two just made !

Tucker, absolutely Awesome!!! Please congratulate your Dad. You are truly lucky, and blessed that your Dad is so supportive and is willing to participate in what you absolutely love doing. Great Dad's who participate, are present and in some way are supportive are the best. Please say Thank you to your Dad! I hope, and probably others too, who follow you, would enjoy seeing more, when time allows. a foot drag on grass or a patch of water would probably be a highlight for your Dad too! Great video! Greetings from sunny Johannesburg. RSA.

Great times w dad. AWESOME BRO.

Dad was very cool. Loved it!

Wow. I’m proud of your dad. Way to go.

Your Dad ROCKS little brodah!! Im sellin off stuff so’s I can join you guys down the road.. I used to work for Larry Newman building the “Eagle” ultralight... my job was building the canard... And my brother Jeff built and flew a gyrocpter for years not to mention tons of RC copters and jets.. and... my dad went from flying fixed wing to owning 4 balloons (living in Albuquerque.. Int. Balloon Fiesta turf)... so it’s my turn to carry n the flying legacy Tucker! Thanks for all your vids man!!

Your dad seems like a cool cat. Very cool he went with you considering he was scared.

That was awesome! Im 32 and never even been fishing with my dad, enjoy it buddy!

That’s super brave of your dad!!!! He did awesome and so did you!! Great video.....nice to see something like this for a change.
