There's something I need to do...
It's been a hell of a ride. You never know what could happen as a result of a simple decision to say yes... take a chance, and your life could change beyond your wildest imagination.

I think we all knew a year or so ago that you and Chels were destined to be together forever. Congratulations and live long and prosper.

Yeah.. I saw that coming since Valentine's Day in West Texas... and I knew when I saw that title that what happened at 13:50 was gonna be in THIS VIDEO... and I'm screaming YEAHHHH!!! at the screen. Y'all have EARNED that... and I'll second the "live long and prosper." Me? I'm taking a longshot, and getting my own new home airport: EHRD. If y'all want a BIG adventure, something that'll take a bit more than a C-172 (though surprisingly not MUCH more, if you're willing to take the far north route)? Across the big pond is definitely a thing. Funny enough, the thing that got me firmly attached to flying was another journalist and his lady friend crossing the pond, back in 1975... Peter Garrison and Nancy in Melmoth, "The Compass and the Clock" (December '75 _Flying_)... I hope your story sticks with the next generation as that one did with me.

together forever ... hopefully.
I don't think I have ever seen a woman look at a man with as much love in her eyes as she does when she looks at you. You are one lucky dude. Congrats. May your life ahead be filled with joy and the happiness that comes only from family.

That 'look' of Chelsea's is what I noticed most a year ago. Those who become our spouses DO have the look for each of us early.... It's not just Chels. The trick is to 'keep that look' alive for decades as you hit the rough spots. It's these early years that set the tone for the long haul. I think they might have what it takes. I'm at 41 years (to the same awesome lady). She still 'occasionally' looks at me that way.. when I'm not ticking her off.. lol...

I HAVE seen a woman look at me with that kind of love in her eyes...my own woman.
When I started watching this channel I was just a kid who enjoyed aviation but had no experience or connections to the industry and didn't really know how to get started. Through your work you've helped me so much in finding a way in and getting my aviation journey off to a start, 10 years later I'm now on the verge of taking my CPL checkride and am now looking at where to start my flying career. I can't thank you enough for all you've tought me through sharing your tips and your story on this channel, you and Chelsea are such an incredible team. So thank you both and a huge congratulations, I cannot wait to see where your story goes next.
I came here for the flying, stayed for the video editing, came back for the story. Magnificent story, video production, and overall, story telling. Wishing you both the best and congratulations. I’ve been into aviation my whole life, been going to Oshkosh since I was 3. Just like Paul Poberzeny said, “We come for the airplanes, we come back for the people.” People are truly what matters in life. Oh yeah, but airplanes are cool also.
You brought a 6’5” dude to tears watching this. The proposal did it. If y’all did a movie I’d watch it. Thanks for the content and helping us fellow pilots.

I'm not 6'5". Since my wife is 5'1" I claim 5'15". This one is getting shared with her (and my handkerchief is wet) as she does love a good love story -- not so much the airplanes!
I have never met either one of you, however I feel like you both are my friends. You made a 54 year old man cry with joy which is very hard to do. Congratulations

WOW what a story. Thought I was watching the Hallmark channel. I'm an old guy. My risk taking days are over. No recovery time. Bless you both. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You risked it all. You won it all.
Congratulations. Your the luckiest guy on UTube to have a beautiful girl that adore's you, is a pilot, owns her own airplane, and can do maintenance on your airplane. What a deal. Cheers to the both of you and your life's adventure.

Dang onions!! Or is it allergies? Seriously, congrats to you both Chels and Josh!
As someone who has seen you ever since 2010 when I had 9 years old, and my dream was becoming a pilot, to seeing you today as a 23 year old, commercial pilot, I’m really happy for you! Congrats Josh!!!!🎉🎉❤❤
I would have sworn that you two were already engaged. Your video "The ladies flew us to Key West 3 Countries in 3 Weeks: Part: 9/10" at 14:28, Chelsea is covering her left hand like she was hiding a ring. I hinted in that video that I thought I saw a "surprise" but didn't want to spoil it for anyone else, or ruin it for the both of you. I was completely wrong, and I'm SO glad I didn't say anything else. Regardless, we're so happy for the both of you. Although we knew it was coming. The way you look at each other tells it all. Congratulations to you both, and may you both have a very very happy marriage. CONGRATS! 🎉🎉
I had just started medical school back in 2014 when I came across your channel. From the aborted takeoff video in the mountains, to taking off for a new journey in your life. Congratulations, Josh! ❤
A few minutes in I was thinking “if this video doesn’t end with a proposal, I’m gonna be SOOOOO MAD!!” So happy for both of you! Congratulations!!!
Cheers 🍻 and congratulations! We viewers have been on the edge of our seats, patiently waiting, for you to make things official BECAUSE we can no longer imagine this channel without Chelsea! What a blessing to have found each other.
Josh, I have followed you since you were in high school and credit you for getting this rusty old pilot and CFI current again after a 25 year break. I have been holding my breath hoping that Chelsea was the one for you. I was applauding wildly when I saw you propose to her. Congratulations to you both. May you have an amazing journey through life together. Have fun at Oshkosh this year.
Took you long enough 😂😂 Girls like her don't come along every day. Congratulations. You two deserve all the happiness the world has to offer.
Thank you! As 61 year old new grand parent and a first time ever making a comment on line, I just wanted to let you know that your video moved me to tears! Thanks again for all of your videos and if the two of you are ever near the coast of Alabama (kcqf) please reach out as not only do we have room for you to stay my wife and I would be delighted to take you to dinner and show you a little bit of the gulf coast and fairhope Alabama area. (I know you have been close when you flew some approaches from Pensacola and you have also skirted along the coast past Alabama multiple times!). I admire the two of you and wish you the best! Heck I don’t think I’ve seen you in an aero commander so maybe plan for that while your here as well. (N1340j). Again thanks for this latest video and getting me to post on line for the first time! Enjoy air venture! (I won’t make it this year since I used that card going to sun n fun’s 50th this year) Loren
Ya know... it's tempting to say "it's about time" and you know what... it is... about... time. It's about time spent together. Time in happiness, time in strife and how you learn to deal with that together, time apart, time with family. You two did it right and I admire the both of your AND your parents for that. Congratulations and best wishes for long and prosperous lives!
Wow…! How cool! At 45 with my first child coming this fall with the love of my life, this moves me. I am so happy for the both of you. We will pray for your very best!
With man-tears in my eyes, let me wish you two lovebirds a HUGE congratulations! I've been waiting for this video since Chels entered your life. Nothing but blue skies for you guys!
Congratulations!! I think the entire aviation community has been waiting with bated breath for this announcement! :)
Congratulations to Josh and Chelsea. Thank you for taking us on your adventures and journeys together. Love the way you film and tell your stories. Here's to many many more adventures together! Cheers!
Awwww, what a great story. My wife and I met at a local airport while we were both completing our PPL. We got engaged and married two years later. All that was 13 years ago and life is grand!
As with every new show, Aviation 101 makes my day and week. I wish you everything good and the same forever Love my wife and I shared for 16 yrs. till she passed, but that love has NEVER DIED. May GOD Bless you both with all the greatness you both deserve.
Congratulations. Been with my wife for 35 years she has never flown with me but she has never said I cannot. Take your special and make it work for you!! hope to see you both at OSH.
I don't know if you get enough love in the comment section on your narration skills! Absolutely fantastic!!
Watching your videos over the years I always knew you guys were made for each other. The way Chelsea looks at you spoke of her love for you. Congratulations and best wishes for your bright future together. Millie is gorgeous and just the fact that you gave her a forever home makes you guys #1 in my books.
Beautiful... Beautiful story, beautiful storytelling, beautiful filmography and editing, beautiful couple... just beautiful. Well done and congratulations!!
Having followed you since close to the beginning, couldn't be happier for you Josh!!! Hope you two have a lifetime of happiness!!
She is so beautiful. Took you long enough.

I'm a fairly new subscriber and really been getting into your videos. Flight has been a dream of mine my whole life, and at 56 I'm finally going to push myself to move forward with it. Thank you for helping to inspire me to take this next step. And after watching so many of your videos I have to say this one is my favorite. Congratulations!
My wife and I have been married almost 23 years now. That was the best decision I ever made. Congratulations to you two and may you have many years of happiness!
Congratulations! Two amazing people, even more amazing together.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Josh, while I'm disappointed in your downplaying of the severity of COVID and the response to it, I loved this video, as I do all of your videos! Your aviation expertise along with your video production skills are at an elite level. Your ability to educate people about your craft is exceptional, your desire to do it is commendable! But, what impresses me the most is your ability to understand the dynamics of living life while still young. Thank you for being the aviation advocate that you are! Thank you for sharing parts of your life that most people keep private. It's reassuring to see young people with a vision and the common sense to execute it! You and Chelsea are adorable together! I wish you continued success at all your endeavors and adventures! I can't wait to see what's to come! Congratulations sir!

Absolutely agree. Over 1,000,000 Americans have died so far of COVID. This was really disappointing. I’ve been a fan of this YT channel for over a decade. This was a bummer.
You’re a gifted storyteller Josh, and you help the rest of us in aviation live our own stories to the fullest. Sincere congratulations to both of you, and so happy for this turn in your story!
About time dude!! You can't let a prize like her get away....congrats to both you!
Have followed Aviation101 for many years and am so happy for you guys. I as well as everyone else could see there was something special with you two.Really brought a tear to this old guys eyes. AND that you have settled down in my State. From Rick in Richmond,Ky. May you guys have all the happiness in life for years to come and take care of that Kentucky girl Josh.
Congratulations to you both! We are very glad to have been part of one of your first video shoots together! We wish you all the best.
Wow! Congratulations to both of you. I love to see the warmth of Chelsea's smile when she looks at you. So nice. Eyes are also moist.
Congratulations!! I started watching you about a year before my first solo when i was 15, I’m now 25. Thank you for the amazing content. Enjoy the new chapter.
Been waiting for this video forever, congrats to the both of you!!
Congrats to both Josh and Chelsea! Not that I have met either of them, but they seem to be wonderful, genuine people. I am so happy for them both.
One of your best videos yet! Your content isn’t only hands down the best on KZread. But, the perfection & focus to detail on every video takes me away to pure joy for 20 mins out of my day. It’s been an amazing ride to watch where you’ve come, gone, & grown as a person for the last 4 1/2 years of watching your content. Keep up the amazing work. Congratulations to you both! Cheers 🍻
I proposed to my wife on enchanted rock 11 years go. It's going to be a blast for you going forward. Enjoy the ride
Congratulations to both of you and thanks for sharing your story.
Ok who is cutting onions around here.. Congrats you two.. I have to say I called this from the first time I saw the way you two look at each other. And after the tragedy of today's events I needed this video more than you know.
Congratulations to both of you. Having officiated at the weddings of many young adults throughout my 40+ year pastoral ministry career it has always been exciting to see new marriages take off! And having just celebrated our own 53rd anniversary it is worth everything it will take to maintain the commitment to go for the gold plus! All the best to both of you. Love from British Columbia.
Congrats you two... Praying for both of you
FINALLY!!!! So happy for you guys. Can’t wait to see you both at Oshkosh again
When in life you find something or someone so special...You hold on with both arms and never let go. CONGRATULATIONS! GOD IS GOOD!
I have three boys, three daughter-in-law‘s, three grandchildren. Everybody doing great and I include the two of you. I’ve enjoyed watching you grow together so much. I hope to watch you mature through your life and your family for a lot of years. Thank you for including me Joe.
OH YEAH! I knew it was building to this!! HUGE CONGRATS 🍾🎉🎈 I figured when Chris & Keelyn were there it was going to be for this reason! Hope you guys have a great rest of your week and I hope to see you both and N80991 at Oshkosh 24 this year! Cheers 🥂 my friend, Wishing You Blue Skies & Tailwinds! -Caleb’s Aviation 😊

Finally!! What a great story and you guys are just getting started. I have been watching Aviation 101 for a while now and noticed that when you both look at each other, we all can see the love. Keep God first in your lives, love each other endlessly, love your family and your country and you will both go far.
So So So happy for you all. !!! Appreciate you all sharing all the things you do with us. Have been watching you from the beginning and so happy to see this come around for you both. Great job on the plan Josh. Be safe have fun and enjoy Oshkosh. Being out here West Ky I hope to run into you all sometime. Take Care. Congrats to both of you !
Congrats yall... been waiting for this day for a long time! Hope to one day have a story as magical as this
Outstanding! Congratulations 🎊
I'm no pilot but I've always wanted to learn to fly. I've been watching you on KZread for years. Congratulations Josh and Chels! Many many lifetimes of happiness.
Congratulations! What a sweet story. When I met my wife I was learning to fly (I did get Single engine land PPL with tail wheel), she flew gliders, but we met through a car club for 1960s & 70s Triumphs. We decided to settle and have children and had to give up the flying. I was struggling to remain current let alone proficient. 30 years later we have 2 grown boys in their 20s so no regrets. My work over the years has seen me involved in aviation. All the best to you both.
I’ve been watching and a huge fan of both of you for a long time, thank you so much for sharing this with us! Congratulations 🍾🤍
Congratulations! It’s been great watching you grow together!
This video captures the true essence of aviation; passion and love. You got the best of both. Thank you for sharing this with us. Now, who’s cutting onions here? 🤧
YES SIR!! Congrats Josh! My eyes are sweating! I am an aviation enthusiast and I love your channel, especially weaving life into your love of aviation! Praying God's blessings on you and your fiancée!
Loved the video! So much emotion and feelings!
Well, congrats!!!
Love this! She's out of your league and crazy about you at the same time! you are soooooo blessed to have her.
Watched your channel for a few years. Fly a super hawk myself out of KAJG. Really made my day to see your proposal. God bless and keep you both.

Congratulations to Josh and Chelsea,Nothing like this Aviation family! I didn't ugly cry like Chelsea did I swear! yall are a awesome couple,enjoy the journey together!
Josh, you are one hell of a storyteller. I have followed your journey for many years, enjoyed seeing you grow as a person, became inspired by your adventures and you are one of the biggest reasons my own flying adventures are as fulfilling as they are. Nobody truly knows what goes on off-camera, but I'm honoured to have been a spectating part of the adventures you and Chelsea have shared with all of us. I've been betting on you two for a while, and when I saw the title of this video I was really hoping this was the one. Congratulations, Josh and Chelsea. Wishing you a long and happy future together.
FINALLY THE LONG WAIT IS OVER🎉
Congratulations!
You two are awesome and I love your videos, I couldn’t hardly wait for you to pop the question to her and when you did, I had tears in my eyes.
I'm sure we will never meet, Josh, but after following you for several years and seeing the incredible work you do, and then adding an incredible woman to your story, I had a huge grin when I saw you drop to your knee. You live a life that I, and probably many others watching, would consider just about perfect, and I wish you and Chelsea every bit of happiness possible. Looking forward to seeing where the future takes you two, and of course, 80991.
Congratulations 🎉

Congratulations to you both but Josh clearly got the better of the deal....... So happy for you both. Never take life or the good times for granted, fair skies and tailwinds to you as a flying couple and family!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!!! I’ve been following a lot of years and you earn all the happiness you find!! Godspeed to both of you!
I have been watching your channel for years. Before I even became a pilot it has been a great journey. Congratulations to both of you❤
Gee Josh, you made me cry. Congratulations to you both on your engagement - Such wonderful news and I wish you all the very best for your future life together. Beautiful video. Looking forward to seeing the next one.
Congratulations Josh & Chelsea, you two are clearly destined to be together. Wishing you every happiness for the next chapter of your lives together.
I took that chance and flew to the Philippines to meet a woman with a baby that I had hit it off with online. We will be married 11 years in December! I waited a large part of my life to find her. We are so glad to have taken the chance! I love you two!
Congratulations to both of you!! Josh, I’ve been watching you since day one! It’s almost like we are family. Thanks so much for all the videos these past years! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and Chelsea!
I met one of your relatives years back, we were talking about aviation and they pointed me towards your channel. I have loved watching everything you've done, and you continue to inspire me to pursue my own aviation career and continuously remind me the beauty of flying. I wish you Congratulations, and I can't wait to see what yall share in the future!
I'm so happy for you both. I'm a complete stranger on the internet but I'm so invested in your future together. Wishing you both the absolute best.. Andrew from Scotland x
Oh man!...tears right here. So happy for you both!!!!!!!!! You both make such great team!
ive followed you for years on and off. some times i'll stumble across you again when that aviation itch hits (usually around Osh) What i'll say is, this was a awesome thing to find after coming back around to your channel again. What a very sweet story of you two. Congratulations you two, y'all are made for each other
Thank you so much for sharing such a special moment in your lives. I have been following your channel for sometime now and I’m so happy for the both of you. To many, many more films and a lifetime of laughter and fun! 🎉🎉🎉
I had a similar set of events occur 32 years ago, still chugging along. So happy for both of you.
Man oh man I’m so happy for you guys. What an amazing story and it’s just the start. Life is such a trip! Just remember…everything will be ok “as long as we’re doing it together”. Congratulations to you both!
Congratulations to the both of you. Been following the channel since day one. This is by far one of the best videos you’ve made!
I feel so behind...just watched and you all made this old guy (but young pilot) tear up big time. 101 was one of the first channels I followed when I started getting into flying after retiring and I feel so blessed to have found you. Our daughter is getting married next year and by golly I am sending her a link to this jewel even though she's not into aviation. Wishing you both an amazing life together. So much talent and love there...
We are so happy for you both. Have been hoping for this day to come. You are two beautiful people that bring joy to many through sharing your lives. God bless and we look forward to the wedding
It takes an incredible amount of courage to leave any comfort zones you might have, take chances, document them, and share them with the youtube world - wow!
She's an angel, and every pilot's dream girl. Congratulations to you both. I have to catch up and meet you guys at Oshkosh this year.
Hi, been following you for a couple of years now...I'm so happy for you and Chelsea. I wish you all the best and may you have many more happy landings together....
What an incredible story. Love the cinematography, the writing and the narration. This is a breath of fresh air amidst the stuffy "wannabes" who have no idea about story arc, editing or passion. May God bless you and keep you both safe on the remainder of your journey to where you didn't know you had to go.
Congrats Josh and Chelsea! You two are the ultimate flying soul-mates! So happy for you both!
