Yeah right!!?? Its amazing how you see kids that have hundreds of Ks even million subs and probably havent been outside their houses, or just play games.... And this here, requires so much more effort, knowledge skills time everything and doesnt get so much attention. Hard to understand...but again these days and these times we re living in, who knows..... Not taking credit of those kind of youtubers but, this is golden

The first time your instructor leaves you alone even though you probably already know what to do, feels so strange and intimidating, of something does goes wrong hes not there to save the day, is definetely different

Congratulations on your first solo! Well done young man. This video brought fond memories of my first solo....52 years ago. You put a smile on this old mans face. Thanks you!

Chef John here! Oh wait wrong channel. Way to go Mike, you landed those like a seasoned pro! You're officially PIC now, make good decisions!

I just seen this and instantly got happy for mike. Congratulations on your solo

Great job Mike!!! There is absolutely no feeling in the world comparable to that moment when you take off for the first time without anyone sitting in the seat next to you. You will remember that moment for the rest of your life!!! Congratulations again and i wish you many safe landings!!! I love the goosebumps comment by Lewis, it must also be a strange feeling to let your student go solo for the first time as a CFI... I hope to experience that feeling somewhere in my aviation future ;-)

Congrats Mike! Great series, been fun watching you progress. Keep up the great content LewDix!

So glad for Mike! Has been such a pleasure watching him learn and develop. He will be a great pilot

Congratulations Mike! Lewis your passion and confidence in your students come right through the camera. Well done!

So happy for you man! I can’t wait till I get to solo myself, Thanks for letting me vicariously get my solo early:)

Congratulations! Soloing was one of the most happy and. memorable occasions of my life! Keep on flying !

Well done Mike.. it’s a feeling you will never forget. Good Luck 👊🏼👊🏼

Congratulations Mike. Always great to see a first solo (and one accomplished apparently so effortlessly).

Congratulations mike! I love how enthusiastic you are when he gets back, my instructor is cool but not as cool as that and I think that goes a long way in motivating the student as well as the instructor. Again congrats and great video!

Awesome ! Something I will never forget ! Your 1st Solo ! Congratulations 👏🏻 Welcome To The Sky 😀👍🙏🏻❤️

Congrats to Mike, your emotions were seen easily in the end when you saw him. I quite got emotional too, wishing you to be on the day of my solo. Enjoyed every bit of this video. Huge love and respect.

So dope, can feel that joy, congratz on first solo... ahhhh what a happy moment there for the rest of the life

Congrats Mike! I had a feeling this was coming for a while, and you killed it. Now the real journey begins, enjoy bro. Also Lewis, loved the segment trying to blog over the engines on the ramp, and you managed to slide in one Cessna joke

Congrats Mike! Such a promising and capable PIC. Can’t wait to get my CFI and be as inspirational of an instructor as you Lewis

Nice work, Mike! Congratulations! You've got a calm and level-headed demeanor, which will suit you well. And, you had a badass instructor.

Congratulations!!!!!... Nothing beats the feeling of the first solo... That thing feels like it takes off like a rocket ship with one person in it for the first time...

Awesome. I know that feeling.... 41 years back ... 16 years old!

This video made me so happy. I'm starting lessons soon and I hope my instructor is half as caring as you!

Congratulations, Mike! What a wonderful morning for your first solo. I know it's been a couple of years since this was posted, so I hope you and your flying career are making great strides. It's been 25+ years since I've instructed (and signed off students), and watching this was such a pleasure.

Congratulations Mike, what an excellent memory this video will be! Mikes RT is excellent for a student.

The more i get into my flight training the more i appreciate your videos. I learn so much and execute during my lessons. Got my solo endorsememt just waiting for the weather to cooperate. Keep up the great content. I know when you start working again itll be harder to post but until then loving the posts

Great job Mike! Absolutely well done! Like your instructor said, you made it look real easy. Youv'e got the goods kid!

Congrats Mike! You nailed it! I just soloed a few days ago. The feeling is incredible, isn’t it? Keep up the great work man!

Now for cross country flights! This is where becoming a pilot pays off. Just wait til you do IFR training. Lol

4:14: "Just slow down, write it down, read it back" 5:25: * writes nothing down * Just like my solo, haha

Well done Mike, lovely circuits..testimony to having an excellent instructor. The boy did good!! 👌👍

Man this is awesome. I do my first solo this weekend. Beyond excited. Congrats mike.

I did main a few months ago, the feeling is so amazing, best thing over. Congrats 👏

So freaking great! He looked smooth as butter up there. Very relaxed. I just did my first solo today! Still taking it in lol

Good job man! I still remember the fright I had the first time but as soon as I was up there the training kicked in and it was business as usual! Glad you recorded this for him Lewis, he will always remember it.

congrats Mo!!!! absolute butter on the landing's as well. 3 points for liverpool tonight ;)

Congratulations! This makes me so happy to see💥

I absolutely love this! Congratulations Mike! I flew back when I was 22 and didn't finish, now back in flight school at 47 and there's no stopping me. It's videos like this that really inspire me. Thank you both for sharing!

Just performed my first solo yesterday and emotions were high. This channel has been amazing so far in my pilot journey

Awesome work, Mike. And you set a really good example - there’s always time to celebrate on the ground, but when you’re in the air, you’re at work. Concentration from the moment the door shut right through you engine off; absolutely the way to do it.

Congrats mike!!!!!!!!! I’ve watched your progress man. Great instructor. !!

Dude congrats! Your videos are awesome and great instructing... keep them coming!

Congratulations MIKE nothing like solo..... without the CFI the plane climbs and flies so much better..Welcome to the sky’s my brother...Big Rich

I have watched a few first solo videos. I'm planning to start my PPL in a few years. That moment when the plane leaves the runway for the first time always makes me smile 😃 so proud of you, man!

Great video. I start ground school this Thursday. I've been watching flying videos for about a year and a half now. I'm ready to learn.

Congrats Mike! You look really confident up there.

wow, he really looked a bit nervous. Thankfully the student was super relaxed. ;) Big Congratulations to both of you! That looked like a real smooth first solo. Also, again: top music selection and editing. Together with your enthusiasm ... it made me emotional, too, just watching it. One more time: Congrats to the first solo, Mike.

Great vid. I am getting back to lessons now as I have an instructor who will "do" me. Can't wait, just hope the weather holds. Lots of fog in Suffolk just lately.

You are a fantastic instructor. I know being a flight instructor is not really something anyone stays in, its just a stepping stone into something bigger, but it is a shame in your case because even in this short video it is very easy to see the passion you have for teaching someone else to fly. Bravo!

Just saw the video of him coming back a year after. This dude was able to fly perfectly even after such a big break of not flying. Great pilot!

Brilliant video, and massive well done to Mike :)

Congratulations! Nothing like that first time you are in an airplane in the sky, alone! Great video too!

awesome, congrats! monday or tuesday will be my first solo if all goes well, pretty excited!

This is what it’s all about , I’ll never forget the nervous excitement , and euphoria after the last landing

Congrats Mike! You’ve become a role model now for many of us ambitious pilots to be ...!!!

Did my Solo on Fri. 13th. a few days ago for over 2.5hrs, with all the obstacles this year. Finally did it!!! Congratulations to Mike!

Thanks for sharing! About to do my first solo. This video helped calm my nerves :D

I remember mine back in 86. You can fly for years and years but that first solo is the one you will always remember. Well done brother

Great video. Congrats mate. Clocking up my hours here in Newcastle on Tyne. First solo is a little way down the road ( runway ) yet. Can see the emotion , definitely a lifetime first....
