I was a senior in high school celebrating graduation with a trip to Galveston. I talked my best friend who was on the trip with me to go on a GA flight over Galveston. Bob Holder was the pilot and he knew I was an aviation enthusiast so once we were airborne and stable he let me do a turn and get the feel of piloting. I am forever grateful and will never forget the experience. Unfortunately, my vision was too poor to pursue a career in aviation. However, still an enthusiast. Love your videos.
My first flight was at age 9, in 1962, on Lake Central airlines’ Convair 340. I went by myself from Indy to Akron to visit my grandfather. My next flight was in 1968-at age 15, in a Piper Cherokee 140. I had a coupon from Flying magazine; $5 introductory flight lesson! I was in the left seat and my instructor was Lyle Holbo. 45 minute flight lesson, and I was hooked! Got my private at age 17. Knew then that I wanted to be an airline pilot. Went to college, got all my ratings, job hopped and in 1978 I became an airline pilot. My first flight as copilot, at age 25, was in a DC9-30 with Ozark Air Lines. Fast forward to retiring from American in 2018 at age 65-40 years of being an airline pilot, amassing 28,000 accident/incident free hours. Now flying my 1947 v tail Bonanza in Florida😊
My dream. I had a PPC for a while. But too slow for me. I want an Aventura II
My first flight was in 1959 when my dad purchased a 1951 B Navion. From that point I always flew from the right seat and learned instrument flying as I could not see over the glare shield. I've been hooked ever since. Love your channel. Love Barons too.
My dad graduated Embry-Riddle in 1959 (multi-engine, CFII, A&P, AI...everything but ATP) when it was still in Miami. My mom soloed (in a Tri-Pacer) when she was pregnant with me. I've been flying since before I was born. My parents had more airplanes than I can remember. But the one I learned to fly in was a 1968 150, N3212X. Would love to have that plane back again.
Hello from Germany,
my first flight was 1963 (5 years old) in a Bell 47g helicopter in Aschaffenburg (25mls south-east of Frankfurt), after this first flight in my life,
I flew often with my father in a Piper Cub J3. With 14 years starting glider flying,with 18 cessnas,Pipers,finally a few years later I was flyinf turboprops and finally Jets
for my whole life for the German flag career (Heron symbol on the tail)
Can't remember the tail number but my first flight was in the summer of 1975 on a Cherokee 140 from Melbourne, FL over to Disney World, landed in Orlando and then back home. Pilot was a co-worker who had been flying since his early teens.
My very first flight was in a Navy T-34B. I was in NROTC at UNC Chapel Hill and the Navy recruiter in Raleigh had the T-34 to maintain his currency. Like you, I was hooked as soon as the wheels left the pavement!
10/7/1978 in N7544G a Cessna 150 at Palo Alto airport (PAO), CA. I was 19 and in college. I rode a bicycle to the airport for my lessons because I didn't own a car. Magical time in my life.
My first small airplane flight was in a rental my dad was flying (he was an Air Force pilot) when I was 8. I don’t remember the tail number, but I do remember we found out the hard way the fuel gauge was not accurate. The engine sputtered, and we lost altitude. Dad calmly figured out the problem and switched tanks. He wanted to try to see if the gauge was wrong on the other tank, but mom threatened his life if he did!
Still remember the reg of first flight as PIC. It was in New Zealand in 2000 and it was in a Cessna A152 Aerobat, reg ZK-JDB.
Yes!!! She needs to take her PPL on your channel! Please get her back, such a awesome person!
C-150 N562GS was my Dads trainer i started my instruction in. But he had many airplanes over the years. The first i remember, i was pretty young so i dont remember the N# but it was a Super Cub on snow skis, we did a loop! Ha ha, great fun!
34U a 67 c150 was my first lesson bit a ride in a j3 cub got me hooked. Hope to be able to afford to fly for a living one day
Maria is a breath of fresh air!
My first time was August 2006. It was a flight with you in your Mooney. Whereas I do not remember the tail number I’m gonna guess and say that you likely will. We flew to Key West. I was hooked immediately. I went to school immediately and passed my private check ride December 22nd of that same year.
I don’t remember the first small plane tail number that I first flew in, however, I do remember the first gal that smote me when she took me for a ride around the patch! 09G, NAS Lemoore Aero Club in 1975!
First time in the air was as an unaccompanied minor on a DC-3 from LaGuardia to Youngstown to see the grandparents.
First "stick time" ( I remember about 20min over Boulder) was literally the stick in the back seat of T-33 as an AFROTC at U of Colorado in 1961. (Yep, I'm the getting to be the same age as "old' people). Unfortunately health stalled a military future and 'life (career, kid, stuff like that) meant that attempts at solo in SEL and sailplane never came to completion. But the passion has never died. love flying with you and Kim (and Trent, Max, Patey and the boys, et al) Thanks. Will
My first light aircraft was a De Haviland Chipmunk when I was about 14 not sure of its tail number but it was an AEF out of Filton aerodrome in Bristol, England.
Solo and PPL checkride in 2503D, Piper Tomahawk.
My first was a British Air Training Corp, Kirby Kadet MK3 Glider at West Malling Airfield I flew solo in March 1979 2 weeks after my 16th birthday my first solo Power was a PA28 Cadet at Oxford Airport England
My first flight in a small plane was a Pitts S2B with the Holiday Inn Coca Cola Aerobatic team ship #3. I can’t find the tail number. I got to take a friend and we got to do all the aerobatic flying maneuvers. Pulled 4.5 Gs which I didn’t even notice until he told me on the ground. Landing was interesting. You could tell it was wanting to ground loop. That plane doesn’t want to land.
My first GA flight was in 1970 at age 20 in Lakehurst N.J. I was in the USN in A school as a parachute rigger. Since I knew I was going to eventually jump as part of my rigger training, I got a head start and jumped with the base’s jump club who had all PR instructors. It was supposed to be in Marine helicopter, but was weathered out and later I jumped from the club’s Cessna on static line. Second and last jump was from bases C 47 in free fall. Never got my private license but have flown a lot over the years.
👍☑👏 What a great family you got going there Kristoffer, soon I see little baby planes joining the baron. Maria is a natural not only at flying but the smiles and good humor you three always live! Thanks for sharing man.
My first flight was in Pa 28-151 and the tailnumber was N-8345C. I flew it while getting my PPL in Fort Lauderdale. I loved this plane and I will never forget it.
OY-ASN a beechcraft King Air from CPH, Denmark to Sardinia and back with the legendarily Mr Hummer in the left Seat….”Vienna control, may I leave the frequency for a few mins”……and I found myself alone in the cockpit……eyeopener…..literally
My first flight airplane and later airplne to solo was N9251T (A Piper Tomahawk).
A VERY pleasant SIC newbie! GREAT episode! 🛩
the first plane i flew was the tb9 tampico in italy Catania airport LICC in 2003
Piper PA-18 Super Cub… living in Belgium at the time. Reg: OO-TAN eventually solo’ed and got my Private ticket on this fun airplane that belonged to NATO.
N1755F. My dad’s plane. A beautiful green and white C172.
From what I’ve looked up, she’s still flying. What I wouldn’t do to see her again.
My first was in a Cessna 152 back in August '86. Up until that day I'd been in everything from DC-8s, 707s, Tridents, BAC 1-11s to 747s. I was rubbing shoulders (literally) with a rotund Swedish flying instructor named Gunilla. The plane was cramped, hot, and quite loud.
My first GA flight was in a C150 tailnr. N3279G in the Netherlands at EHMZ. I have US PPL now. And I learned to fly back in the 1990s in Florida, the airport was TriCounty (1J0) now KBCR.
1994, single engine Cessna 4 seater. Honeymoon sightseeing flight around Ely, Minnesota. Yeah I know I said the words honeymoon and Ely, Minnesota in the same sentence. Lol.
Welcome, Maria! 😊 My first was a Piper Cherokee Warrior as a student pilot, back in 1998, tail number N8244U. 😊
My first was N5533G, a 1969 150J with the old Cessna "Learn to Fly" paint scheme, back in 1971 when I was 16 years old. (Actually, that was my first flight lesson. I was a passenger in a 172 a few years prior.)
My first flight was in the back seat of a Cessna 172 with my Civil Air Patrol commander and another cadet plus a radio commentator doing an interview for Civil Air Patrol. My actual first lesson was in a Cessna 150, tail number 50651
Cessna 150 N6723S May 2021! Working Instrument now because of you guys! Thanks!
What a fun person to show the joys of flying. I also like the mysterious voice from the back seat with no face.
Warrior here in Canada GNOP first time.
N7784F A Cessna 150, (Yep, Before They Added "The 2," Making Cessna 152's, 172's & 182's.) I was 10 years old flying with my Dad, a WW II Combat Pilot over Europe.
Now, 50 years later, I've flown Boeing 727's, 737's & My All-Time Favorite, The MD-80/DC-9 Series. They were a Fun Aircraft to Fly with Their Power & Amazing Vertical Speed Climb-Out like a Rocket!
I still occassionally Fly MD-80'S for Charter Airline Companies that still fly them!
I also own a Citation III & A Cessna 172, for my personal flying pleasure!
HAPPY FLYING & CONGRATS TO THE YOUNG LADY ON HER FIRST TIME ON THE YOKE! GREAT JOB!!!
She did a wonderful job of flying the airplane. Some knowledge ahead of what to do is helpful. But it’s still a bit challenging the first time.
99% N96049 was the C152 I solo'd in! looking it up that tail number says it's a C182 exported to Chile, so guess I better check the logbook!
My first was back in 64 or so with my Dad back when I was 6. Obviously didn't know tail numbers were a thing. I think it was a 172. I believe we just beat up the pattern at KEMT. Back then the runway was about 1/2 the width it is now and a fair bit shorter and the dairy farm came right up to the airport fence and it was uncontrolled. A little too young to fully appreciate it but it was fun.
N98059 was my first a pa28 I loved it
Good morning from Minnesota! Great job!
I don’t actually remember my first flight. I was that young! The tail number was N7A. Yes that’s the whole tail number. The 1950 Cessna 170a belonged to my uncle from the 1960s till just a few years ago. In 2016 I flew this airplane in the right seat with my uncle’s partner in the airplane. Twice in fact. How many people can say that they flew the very same airplane as an adult that they took their first rides as a preschooler? Not many I’m certain. I should add that this aircraft had crosswind landing gear. The front wheels were castoring in order to make a crosswind landing a bit easier. Sort of like with a B 52. 😊✈️
.......or the Cessna 190/195- the "flying ground loop".
Alion air coupe N5696F. I was 16 years old. I’m now 72, retired SWA Captain with over 32,000+
Piper Chieftain PA-31-350 as passenger right seat
While I had flown commercially in all of the Boeing airplanes, my real first was in an old 150 in 1981. The airplane was older than I was at the time. Just taxiing scared the hell out of me. My instructor at the time really calmed me down. I went and got my A&P, expecting to work my way up. Of course that was during the crash of aviation jobs across the board. I started to specialize in avionics, but with all the guys retiring from the military, there were almost zero jobs available to someone so green. So I went to University and got my business degree and never looked back.
My first flight was in a Piper Archer II, PA28-181, tail# N5657V and LOVED IT!
My First Aircraft was C-150M VH-RQM Back in 1981 still flying to this day in B777
First Rotory wing - random OH-58 at Shell Army Airfield. First fixed wing - N46889
My first was a 1929 Ford Trimotor sometime back in the 1970’s
My first flight was in a Cessna 152 N69207 out of Douglas, Ga.
First was VH-RNQ C152 in 1983 discovery flight with CFI Trevor
My first time in a small plane was on C172.
Yeah, you definitely have a new flying disciple with Maria! Could tell by her smile.
My first flight was on 11/18/1992 in a Cessna 152 N95005 out of KHPN, Westechester County, NY with my instructor Lynn Dreifus. My first solo was on 2/3/1993 with 25.4 hours in a C-172 N98981. And I passed my PPL checkride on 6/12/1993 in N9914L, a 172. Passed my Instrument checkride on 4/16/2003 in a PA-28 N4508X.
My first was 1258Q. A Cessna 150 that I soloed and got my license in
Nice job on the landing.
N2662L, Cessna172, you're right, ya never forget. I didn't evev have to look it up.
My first plane I flew was N8473R.
I decided to take my PPL training after more than 20 years away from aviation. mt dad flew back in the 1980's with Phoenix Flyers. they had a small fleet of PA 28's. I searched my area and found a CFI that was active duty in the Marines, but owned a Pa28. the rest was history. I took a few trips in the plane, but unfortunately it was sold. At about that same time I finished my experimental and I've been flying it ever since.
N2321D out of Tampa's Peter O knight
In 1971 Cessna N6721S, I then flight trained on that aircraft and received my license in that aircraft. That was in PA. The plane is still flying but is now in CA. The plane was manufactured in '67.
Born in England during WWWII..then came to America with my English mom on the troop ship Zebulon Vance...while my dad was still stationed overseas there with the B-17 squadrons near Northampton and later in North Africa. His own mom had moved from a farm when she first worked here at Boeing in Wichita on the B-29s during the war. Later she moved out to Convair in San Diego. My dad eventually worked at Boeing, Cessna and Beech..where he would take me out to see all the planes at air shows..right alongside these B-17's.. B-52's.. and later B-1's.. at McConnell AFB.. But the same time that Learjet first started up here..I finally headed off to college..in my very first cross country flight from ICT.. climbing aboard this gleaming and amazingly-elegant TWA Constellation..
which first stopped right there.. in the middle of Kansas City..after flying really low over downtown..
then landing right
on the river airport..(right next to those old cattle yards)..and then it turned right around..and majestly took off ..heading for Idlewild..in New York City..where I had first seen the Statue of Liberty.. with my English mom..when we both went both through Ellis Island..so many years ago..
2/2009 N51236 out of KVKX. Always fun flying out of the DC FRZ for your first.
The first plane I flew on was a Delta L-1011 around 1971. First small plane was a Piper Cub, around 1976
My very first flight in a GA aircraft was when I was a kid. My folks bought an air tour session at Thousand Islands, near Kingston, ON, Canada. I remember the aircraft being a float plane, probably a Cessna. I have a picture of that day somewhere in storage. Still remember that amazing day like yesterday; call it a core memory if you will.
Eventually, I did a discovery flight a few years ago in a C172. Life had other ideas for me to prevent me from having enough time and money to get my PPL right after. But its turning around for me where I just need to find time to start seriously. I still want my PPL, then my instrument rating, and a plane of my own. Currently eyeing a V-Tail Bonanza lately.
N4937L. Cherokee 6. Car seat from age 4
Wow - what a great first time experience for Maria. Who better than Kris to show her the way. Looks like a new convert to flying is born.
From Canada, 1980 Piper Cherokee 180, CG-TVI Tango Victor India... never forget the first time.
1970 not 80
Cesna 172 50 E and 3FF
My first one........ N7832S Bell 47G5
This was also a good primer for us non-pilots about the basics.
My first was in late 1989 in a Cessna 152 N6213P at St. Louis Downtown Airport. Took flying lessons for about 6 months, was doing solos and started cross country, but our first son was born in 1990 and it came down to avgas or diapers. I do miss flying, but my family is more important. As much as I enjoy watching flying videos, I never really thought about going back. Safe landings.
The young lady was brilliant, holding heading and altitude on first flight. Congratulations!
Maria seems to have a nice light touch on the controls and wasn't too intimidated. Good job!
N6107G a Cessna 150, soloed on 03 Oct 1976
My first flight was my first lesson in N200JA (GrummanAA-1C) at the old Roman Aviation at KLZU in 1981.
N6602B a Cessna 310 B when I was a kid.
Discovery Flight in C-GBMO C172SP
G-AYOZ a Cesena 150 in the '80's, Exeter Flying Club, Devon, UK
My first was when I was very young so I don't remember any number. I flew in N734VE a nice 172 that is still flying as I've seen it in the background of another video. Our first plane was a 182 N8847X which was wrecked after we sold it. Didn't buy one after that. I did fly a lot of Ultralights and they are so much fun. I do miss flying.
My first small airplane experience - actually my first airplane experience of any sort - was in the right seat of my grandmother's cousin's 1965 Mooney Super 21, in 1966. He was up visiting from Arizona and invited me to go flying. We took off from San Jose and headed toward Yosemite for sightseeing. As soon as we cleared the hills on the east side of the Santa Clara Valley, he took his hands off the controls and said "Fly it." He coached and guided me and I recall I did a passable job of holding heading and altitude - but in hindsight, he had the airplane trimmed perfectly. He took over when we got closer to Yosemite and by that point, I was hooked.
I took ground school when I was in college, but didn't have the money for flight training. About 11 years later, I could afford it, so I re-took ground school and flight training and got my private in 1981. I continued on with instrument training (you needed 250 hours back then) and got my instrument ticket in 1984.
G-BYET, a Cessna 172, nearly 25 years ago. I loved the flying. I hated the high wing. I then transitioned to G-BXPC and PD, a pair of Diamond Katanas which I still fly to this day, although my regular steed is G-BNSR, a Slingsby T67M-MkII Firefly.
My first flight was in a 150 Cessna
It's tail number was. ZK - BWI
Introductory flight 1966 Cessna 150 N6876F
First solo, 16th birthday, 1967 Piper Cherokee 140, N6664J
N6548J - 1968 Piper Cherokee 180 my dad owned back in the early 90’s. Not sure what the first flight was.
My first flight in a small plane was in OH-665, a Grob 109 motorglider.
First one was about 1958- a beautiful 1956 Cessna 172, blue/white and polished aluminum with the N numbers in large font under and above the wings..... sadly, although the FBO had bought it new, they turned it into a training hack and it was sold when its purpose was done there - N7080A.
My first flight was 1989 kenya Airways fokker 50..
My first was N3118V I think she was Blonde!!
N1040X Pa 28/g at KPKB.
Great job keeping it happy and stress-free for the young lady. Your vids are always so interesting. Thank you once again.
My first is gone now. Engine failure 😢. Fortunately everyone onboard survived.
Thanks for another great 👍 video! I can't wait for the next one! The Baron Pilot is a wonderful pilot!
