Let us know in the comments what you loved about the episode and what you were doing the last time you felt like you were really living!
My first solo back in 1993 when I was 16. It has been one of the most amazing things I have done that has truly made me feel free. Nothing can explain it. So proud of you, chasing your dreams.
Thank you Chad! That means a lot
When Kelly said "He's put in the effort, he belongs up there." (I got teary eyed and I don't know why!) My most recent moment of really living? The last two years I have taken off the entire month of January from work and relocated to warm climate, got off the grid, and lived in the moment daily for a short term. Life changing for me. My second favorite part of this episode is when you said "Whisper of a thrill..." Great line, great show. Thank you for sharing. See you soon.
Love ya to the moon and back Laurie!! Thank you for all of your amazing support. So glad to hear it brought a good tear. See you soon in Denver
My first solo was 12 years ago yesterday. I still remember it entirely to this day. Congratulations buddy.
It’s truly a moment you never forget!! Thanks for watching
I may have cried a little watching this… 😅 Still remember my first solo like it was yesterday. Proud of you dude! Thanks for sharing your story.
Thanks for being such a support and friend. Glad it was a little walk down memory lane
Well done, Clint. Better and better. And this is still just the beginning. Every onward! 🙏
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the episode
My first helicopter solo was in a Hiller My Dad was my instructor. So it ment more than a solo. I remember what my instructor told me if I don't remember anything that he's said remember this one thing. Always keep that rpm in the green. So I'm taking off in this 1947 Old surplus Army helicopter and the gauge's started shaking so bad the rpm was going from one end to the other but I LISTENED AND KNEW BY THE SOUND I was in the green even though the gauge was shaking violently up and down but after I got about 100 ft it smoothed out and was right on the middle of the green WOW! WHAT A ADRENALINE RUSH. I NOT ONLY SOLOED I MADE MY FATHER VERY Proud OF ME. ILL REMEMBER THAT FLIGHT TILL THE DAY I DIE!
Thank you for sharing this Terry. Are you still flying?
Great story. My first solo was 37 years ago yesterday, and yes, I remember that odd feeling that goes with it: like your first solo drive, but amplified x10. Had some great experiences following it, with possibly the best moment with the horizon framed between the wings of a Stampe biplane, with the world above, and the sky below on a crystal clear day over the Thames. But introducing my American nephews to gliding the Long Mynd was probably the last time I felt like I was really living, last summer.
Absolutely loved reading this. Thank you for sharing Andrew
This brings back fond memories of my first solo circuits in a helicopter. Like you my solo was videoed from both inside the chopper and outside. Its a memory that will be with you for the rest of your life. In time you will get to fly different helicopter types and have great experiences. The one memory that will bring the biggest smile to your face will be that of your first solo. Well done may your sky be always blue and the air always smooth. Stay safe fellow aviator.
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching
I'll definitely never forget the first time I picked up off the ground solo in the R22 during my training. I got airborne and got a rush of adrenaline from realizing there was nobody to help me get it back down on the ground, it was all up to me. It was also liberating to feel free from the rules of the world. To fly is heavenly, to hover is divine.
So, so beautifully said. I couldn’t agree more!
You’re living your dream!! So happy for you!!!❤
Thanks for watching
It continues to be an absolute delight to see you (Clint) like a kid in a candy shop all nervous and unsure. Since I've mostly ever seen you in situations where you are supremely confident, it's a fun behind the scenes.
As for really living, getting back on stage and speaking this past year has probably been the biggest one for me. It really felt like coming home. Also, getting to take my kids up into the mountains and climb around Vedauwoo has been that this summer. Just a perfect blend of nostalgia, family, and activity in the beauty of nature.
You’re doing it Dallin and you deserve all the success in the world. Thank you for your constant support for me and this series!
Clint, I’ve been building simulators for years and I have the Pro Flight Trainer with R22, R44 and Bell 206. I love it. I hope we can stay in touch as this process unfolds. Your story is inspiring. I wrote a book about my story.
So glad to hear that you also love the pro flight trainer. It was a game changer for me and I still use it all the time. What is the name of your book?
This is AMAZING!!
This is awesome! Congrats Clint!!!
You’re up next my friend #soloday
Awesome man! Keep it up and have fun!
Congrats Clint! It was awesome to see you at Hill’s Heli-expo booth a few months ago! Cheering for you brotha!
Thanks pilot blue!! Really appreciate you watching!
Great video series! There is nothing like your first solo! Except maybe the feeling when you pass your first checkride! I know where you are coming from, being grounded for medical currently, but hope to be back in the air soon. It’s inspiring to see you overcome challenges to reach your goals! Keep at it! I love the NASA sweatshirt btw…
…spot on comments about using the sim to practice. I did the exact same thing with VR, a PFT Puma and XP10 when I was training and I passed my PPL checkride at 49hours! I don’t think I could have done that without the sim.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching the series. I agree, having the sim has helped immensely
I absolutely love watching your flying journey!! SOO COOL!!! Great Job, Clint!!!
What I enjoyed most was your vulnerability and ultimate success as well as Kelly’s excitement to see you complete your solo flight!! The last time I really felt like I was living was on horseback running. (Sounds small, but I truly love it so much)
So so grateful for your support Shelby!! So excited to see you in Denver
Clint, thanks for pushing us (me) to think about the challenges and risks we must take to live better lives. It is easy to settle into comfort, to accept rinse and repeat routines, especially when one has achieved as much traditional success as you have. Your quest is a reminder for me personally to keep seeking new air while staying grounded in the beauty of everyday life. Thank you. See you at Influence.
Your message means the world John. Thank you for your kindness and thank you for your support. It means a lot to hear that the episode and this series has inspired people to live better and keep dreaming. Can’t wait for Denver!
Great personal story and and so nicely told. Wonderful to see the sincere support of your wife on your journey.
As a fellow Hill owner, I look forward to meeting at a future event. The Hill journey is so inspiring and enjoyable to be a part of.
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to meet you as well. I hope you were able to watch episodes 1 & 2 as well.
Miracle #4 will be the Hill Helicopter ever seeing the light of day and delivered to customers.
Thanks for watching Mark!!
I've always enjoyed flying in video games and preferred helicopters over fixed wings. I love watching videos about aviation but this series is amazing. A different style.
I can't wait to leave my old career as a Designer and to begin my Helicopter journey!
Your post just made my whole day!! Thank you for watching and I’m so glad it inspired you to start flying more. Mission accomplished and enjoy every minute of it.
So sick!
Thank you so much for watching
Chasing your dream......EPIC!!!! Congrats Clint!
Thank you for watching
I’m on a similar journey with a R44 & Hill. I’m excited to watch your story evolve!
Thank you for watching
My fav episode thus far. You’ve come a long way from flight simulator. 😮🚁
So proud of my brother!!
Thank you, thank you!!
I loved the story you have and the inspiration you give me and others out there who want to learn to fly🚁
You’re doing it Spencer!! Cheering you on always
this is actually my first vlog of your series... and the most thrilling part was when youre wife said... am nervous.. before you went to fly your copter.. and i am thinking.. like he's thinking.. (wow.. am doing this.. but lets do it.. and lets complete this hurdle.. i shall compete and i shall achieve it for me and for those behind me.) that was my thought pattern.. when watching you fly... a late Congrats.... my suggestion.. don't go and buy a helicopter... Slow and steady wins.
Regards from Singapore, God bless.
So glad you enjoyed the episode. Check out episode 1 and 2 if you haven’t had the chance yet
Well done Clint, welcome to the family
Thank you, thank you
Congrats, Clint! Your work ethic is inspiring! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for watching this brother
Very nice and emotional video for me. I love helicopters and fly in X-Plane. I have glaucoma and was born deaf in one ear so my dreams of being a helicopter pilot were all in vain. I got to love helicopters on my job flying to offshore platforms I literally became obsessed with helicopters lol. To this day I am still hurting but I have sincerely accepted my circumstances. I am thankful for the technology that I can still fly helicopters in X-Plane and MSFS 2020 with my Pro Flight Trainer Puma and strictly in VR. Thanks, Clint for sharing this. I am so happy for you.
Thank you, thank you for watching this series. I’m so glad you enjoyed this episode. I too for a very long time wasn’t able to fly again and I appreciate you sharing your journey and love of helicopters. The sim world is amazing and has brought the world of flight to so many that would maybe never have the chance. So glad to hear you’re also rocking the pro flight trainer. Thank you again for sharing and for watching!
I am excited to see your journey. Best of luck to you.
Thank you so much!
Inspiring ✨👏 well done ✅👍
Thank you
I've just built an r66 simulator. Used the x puma controls all though I've stripped them down and reconfigured them.
@ 6:20 Me everytime I fire up DCS Gazelle :(
Well done! As a pilot, musician and adventurer, loved your video. Can you share the hardware you use with the simulator. I want to start there in my helicopter training. Thank you,
Richard Miller
Check out the pro flight trainer. I have a link of it in the description
