I am an Air Force vet and so admiring of how inspiring Alina is to all prospective young flyers, especially female. In my day we didnt have females at all as pilots or engineers. Towards the end of my service they started to arrive, which pleased me and many others who wanted to see true equality for women in all roles. Her father William is such a valuable tutor and mentor for her and I hope to see her one day entering the Air Force. Then she will get a chance to fly so many aircraft like the T-6 Texan II, Harvard maybe, F18 and so many more. Clear skies and tailwinds Alina - the stars are the limit for you. Great video thank you all. Take care.
She is a really good flyer. And looks beautyful.
I can't get enough of watching these videos. Alina Will be an Inspiration to many many people young and old. I'm 56 and just love seeing videos. I'll definitely be at the show in 2024 just to meet Alina and her Dad. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
We hope to meet you there
For one so young Alina's mastery of the air is a pleasure to see. I hope she goes on to great things. Enough to make any parent proud of their child.
Such a natural pilot.
Elena definitely is an inspiration - She *and her dad* are incredible. Thanks for this video.
@ronaldglider, thank you for your comments. They make an incredible team. Regards, Wayne Whitley
Good work Elena you remind me of how It was in the early days of altralight flying when I was your age. Gods speed to you and keep up the excellent work.
Jerry, thank you for your input. The early days were not bad! Regards, Wayne Whitley
Wayne - Thank you for all the great videos that you produce. This one is special. I love the different camera angles.
@toddcwalker4208, Thank you for your kind words. I have been working on my camera angles, Glad you like them! Best Regards, Wayne Whitley
I can even speak, I've loved aviation all my life, at 14 going on 15, being in SC and knowing about the aerolite 103, an aircraft I've dreamed of. my first introduction to aviation was my grandfather, who gave me an old flight stick and a very old game, I was hooked. then moved right next to a US Airforce base, had f-16s and c-130s flying low overhead, flight shows and museums all boosted my love for flight, bought and read a pilot's hand manual at 8, and was intrigued, Angle of attack, dihedral (I've forgotten most of the things that stumped me :(.) Thats because one I realize my parents couldn't get me a plane, and at the time not even an RC one. Speaking of RC, FliteTest Was a HUGE inspiration, while I couldn't buy a kit, I would cut, fold, and glue cardboard into airfoils. And Two I had fallen for cars, as I could realistically get one in the near future. Still Miss the idea of flying, But haven't given up, About to go beg my parent again, a club? Training Gounds? Any thing to connect me to flight again. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU ALINA!
An inspiration to all youngsters, showing what can be achieved with determination. Her Dad must be so proud.
Good job. Enjoyed the video.
Hello, Wayne.
It makes me want to tell one of my most beautiful memories.
It was in the Andes. The runway was at 2850 meters altitude. My Father took us to watch the Thunderbirds show, as they were flying "Phantom" F-4 by McDonnell-Douglas.
They made everything, at this altitude, extraordinarily easily. They were flying at ten meters, or a little more, above the runway, for a lot of aerobatic figures. For some of them, they didn't stay above the town - I presume they, or the authorities of the land, wanted that so - they flew in the distance above the mountains, for instance, for the "flower" figure, rising to about 3800 meters.
I couldn't become a pilot. It was not my Father's fault, but adverse circumstances.
I never forgot this show out of the ordinary.
Hartholz 701, Thank you very much for your comments and input. Your memories of the Airshow were important to you. The Phantom F-4 was an incredible aircraft. I also have fond memories of the time I spent around them when I was in the military. Best Regards, Wayne Whitley
So cute 💕 Alina
Thanks from bangkok thailand
I was there! Maybe not. I wish...
Respect! Super! Laik! 😊
I love sll your videos and wouldlike to fly an ultralit.e from th to oshgosh. What additional equiptmentdid you use.?
Sounds like Marlin Perkins on Wild Kingdom. "Jim will be taking off next in pursuit of lions and wildebeests."
I'd be tempted to sell my 150 and Pietenpol for one.
Looks like the windshield could use a little help!
Top10
What engine did you have in your ultralite
Kawasaki 440
great advertisement for the utility of the Aerolite.
Alina is showing people her age what they can accomplish if they want to. (side note; who would not want to fly in a DC3???)
amazing job, how old are she?
14
Nice video india
Will she be at OshKosh this year?
Yes
How can a country's aviation not be strong?
Хороший самалет мнебы такуюже😅
What is the landing speed?
She uses 50mph as a final approach speed. But It can be as low as 30.
