Mum doesn’t know I’m a private pilot, so we went flying!

- I take my mum on a flight without her knowing that I am a qualified private pilot. She thought we'd hired another pilot for the trip. We take off and land at Leeds Bradford airport, and during the flight, we fly around Elvington and York, taking in the stunning views from above.
Her reaction as she realises what's happening is a moment we will both never forget!
Love it! Always a joy to see new pilots taking loved ones up... keep them coming!
Thanks Dan, more in the works.
You can tell his mom knows his son well enough she wasn't entirely shocked but completely trusts him! ❤
A lifetime of experience!
You taxiing out there and the premise still being "he'll just run out onto the runway and get in" was hilarious. She was so chill about it hahaha
Don’t worry, it’s just a busy international airport. No one will mind…
Haha this is amazing, imagine Mark just running out on to the runway 😂
@@silvershoes9724 I guess at some point she simply stopped questioning the reality of the situation 😅
Yeah I was imagining her saying "we're going awfully fast, can he run?"
His mother was surprisingly calm. This was a treat! Congrats to the pilot for pulling this off! 🎉
All in all, I think she handled it very well!
she just trusts her son is all
"You're a bit of a bugger!" Answer: " I am yes"....classic
It's a good family dynamic.
Mum is pretty good at Navigation !! She can recocgnise towns, villages, roads and even specific hills from the air. Well done Mum.
She’s great at navigating, she pointed at a few bits I hadn’t picked up on (and I had the map).
I love that he did this for his mother, hes a great son and shes obviously a great mom he loves very much, God bless them both.
Thanks for the great feedback!
You told your dear old Mum a pack of lies , the look on her face was priceless. Awesome surprise, well done pal . Bloody Mark late again !
That bloody man! Thanks for the comment 🙂
The look of joy on mums face was priceless proud mother there mate well done 👏
Thanks, that means a lot bud!
@@onairclub I done my 1st tandem skydive last month I want to do a flying lesson next
@@Rivaboyz1987 wow, good job 👏 I prefer to remain firmly seated :)
Couldn’t have said it better………..
@@dragbikedemon Thanks, I really appreciate the comment.
that look on your mum's face when you told her Mark was not coming.... priceless...lol good job bud
Thanks Jim!
Love how mum has complete confidence in her sons surprise take off and flying!
Thanks for the comment Charlies. Yes, she was very calm (on the outside)!
"I'll never trust you again."
Whilst showing the most trust possible by literally putting her life in your hands. :)
Yes, I laughed at that one. Bless her!
The first time my mother came to fly with me was very special. I always felt very sorry that I couldn't share it with my father, but somehow, he guides me through the clouds.
They’re always with us 🙂
Indeed your dad is soaring the skies with you❤
@@onairclub That's true 🙏🏻
@@cherylr9385 That's what I always believe
just inviting family members to your private flight is amazing!
Thanks, it's always a great feeling!
Love her demeanor. All I could think the whole time was "Nothing phases an English woman." Keep calm and carry on. lmao she's a gem.
Yes, she was extraordinarily calm and collected… at least outwardly.
This was such a great prank! I love it! She took it better than I expected. I thought she would start to panic yell and scream!!, lol. Your mother is quite the trooper. 👍
She is that! Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
The Mom seems so calm, I'd probably be freaking out, lol.
She’s very chill!
Lol, good for you! Seeing her ear-to-ear grin was all worth it!
Absolutely!
What a beautiful moment - to be able to take the woman who gave you life for a flight through the skies.
How the tables have turned 😉 Thanks for the comment!
Americans love when British people call each other "cheeky"! Such a sweet mother and son.
Aww, thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it 🙂
ik your mom was surprised but you can tell in her face she was also very proud. what a wholesome video.
Aww, thanks. Really appreciate the comment.
4:35... the persepctive/angle of that shot makes it look as if your mum is looking at you, hoping to dear God, that you haven't actually gone mad, finally!!
Had to check the video to see where you meant. She was looking at the hangers behind us waiting for Mark to re-appear 😅
Mum is smiling in spite of the cheeky boy. Fair Dinkum. It was good.
Ha, 'cheeky boy' is going to haunt me. Thanks for the comment!
She was definitely surprised 😮
What a wonderful surprise for your mother. My father learned to fly but I never got to fly with him. Thank you for sharing.
Why not book a discovery flight? It’s a great experience to get up there 🛩️
Mum being shocked and proud all at once
Thanks Ryan, really appreciate the comment.
Bless mum! Love the video Dan ❤
Aww, thanks Han! x
Absolutely loved your video. What a delightful mum! You're not just a cheeky boy; you are a lucky boy. Thanks for the trip, and continued good wishes on your career as a private pilot! Cheers from the USA.
Thanks Davey, appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video!
This was so lovely, thank you!!
Aww, thanks Jean. Really appreciate the feedback!
“u cheeky boy” priceless
It's become a bit of a catchphrase at my side 🙄
Love it! "You cheeky Boy!" lol
Yes, alas that’s become a bit of a catch phrase in our office now…
How lovely! Thank you for sharing this sweet video! ❤ My heart is so full for both of them!
Thanks Lisa!
Well done. That was a pearler. thanks for posting.

Just beautiful to watch . Your mum is so proud
It was a great little trip. Thanks for the comment 👍
Well done 😂 nice surprise..i love it
Ha! Thanks for the feedback, to be honest I'm still surprised this one worked out so well. The odds of it coming together (nice day / Mark helping / Mum falling for it etc) all seemed fairly out there.
You cheeky boi, doing pranks on your mom ! Lovely video
Everyone loves a good prank! 😅
Mum is so proud of you! ❤ You're a right bloke! 😊
Aww, thanks Nathan! Appreciate the comment.

She is proud of you ! god bless her ! great son and mom !
Aww, thanks for the lovely feedback!
geez man thats massive to pull off. Well done.
Cheers bud!
lol she pulls out the aviator glasses...
I was waiting for her to say she's taking over as PiC and surprising YOU saying she got her license too!
The Inception of surprise flight videos. That's something I'd absolutely watch 🙂
Bless you and your mother
Ahh, cheers buddy!
wish i still had my mom around to take up in the air. beautiful video and grats!!
Aww thanks. Yes, I’m very lucky this all came together so well 🙂
I love the relationship between these two. You can see there's so much love and respect there. Thanks for the video. Made my day!
What a lovely comment 🙂
What a wonderful video. I would love to fly more as a passenger out of Fairoaks, near Woking. Congrats to the new pilot in the video.
Thanks Steve, really appreciate the feedback.
This is a very heartwarming vid and your mum is a great sport - clearly with full trust in the boy she brought into this world! Thank you for sharing. I paused my flight training years ago and always wanted to take my parents up one day. Sadly we lost my dad a few weeks ago so I really should get into gear so I can enjoy the experience with mum (who is something of a daredevil octogenarian)!
Cheers from Sydney - Dave
PS. My dad's parents were from York! 🙂
Dave, really sorry to hear about your dad. Please do reconsider your PPL, it's amazing up there and I'm sure your mum would love the experience. York is amazing and by coincidence I have family in Sydney 🙂
Mate, you are so blessed to be able to do that for your mum…. Such a priceless experience…🙏🏻
Aww, thanks buddy! Yes, I'm extremely lucky. Really appreciate the comment.
That is a very nice bird. Good passenger.
Alas she was sold fairly shortly after that flight. She was great to fly in.
Very smart making her focus on the building to keep her distracted about what was happening! Wholesome video, I loved it!
Hope to get my PPL someday when I can afford it!
Yes, the hanger distraction technique worked like a charm! If you’ve got the money and the time absolutely consider a PPL, it’s an amazing experience. Thanks for the comment 🙂
Awh...bet your mum was really thrilled not to mention very proud 🤣
Thanks Pete. I think she has just happy to land safely to be honest!
Your mum is a treat, what a lovely person, and you’re a son she is proud of, congrats to you both. Well done, 🌈🦘
Thanks very much for the comment, really appreciate the positive feedback!
The perfect approach and landing was the cherry on top :)
Aww thanks, yes I was pretty pleased with that one 🙂
very very touching, well done mate, i have done something similar but my father knew i was a pilot...cheers from Portugal
Ahh, thanks buddy. Love the feedback!
The way she was gleaming ❤, proud mama
Aah, thanks!
You’re a cheeky thing Danny. 😂 Great reveal!
Thanks! 😁
I love your Mum's reaction of you revealing that you're flying without the pilot you were waiting on
Thanks! It took a fair bit of planning to pull off 👍
Dan, you are a very naughty boy ...... but very funny. What a lovely surprise for your Mum 👍
I mean, she raised me… so technically who’s fault is this! Thanks for the comment Martin 🙂
You've got a great mum there mate. Lucky man.
She's a keeper! Thanks for the comment 😁
I was starting to ponder doing the same with my mother in the local club for glider pilots :)
Do it! My mum loved the surprise. Just make sure she's up for a bit of excitement first. Not everyone's great with heights 😅
Aww that was adorable
Thanks Retro, glad you enjoyed it!
GREAT VIDEO you and your mom has the same eyes for sure
That we do😃 Thanks for the comment!
having flone in alot of planes alike its a great feeling, happy for you that you where able to share it with your Mother!
It’s like nothing else 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
"... you cheeky boy..." You'll remember that forever :)
"...that's where we got married..." Was waiting for you mum to say, "you're married?!"
That would have been an extremely tense conversation…
...and just down there is the hospital where we had the triplets. "TRIPLETS? - You cheeky boy!"
🤣😂 ROFLMAO!!! 😂🤣 👍This is one of the coolest Aviation Videos on the entire Internet!!! That's pretty amazing, managing to hide that from you mom for two years! They usually sniff something like this out one way or another!!! 🤣KUDOS!
It was hard going keeping it quiet for that long! Thanks for the feedback.
@@onairclub It was a wonderful surprise! And your mom seemed really cool, calm and collected, so if you've got some of her composure, I'm betting you'll be able to keep a clear head as a Pilot. That's not a bad trait to have. Keep the Blue Side Up, Brother!
Excellent.
😁
Awesome stuff. Would love to come along with you on a flight over Leeds!
Alas much of Leeds is in class D controlled airspace, so it’s not something I regularly get to experience 🫤
Pretty great!
Thanks Alan!
Mum's are the best!!!
💯
Delightful ❤
"You cheeky boy!" :D
It’s rapidly become a catch phrase my side 🙃
As a mom, this brings proud tears to my eyes! Love this!!
Aw, thanks for the comment Kathy! 😅
I wish I'd gotten to take my mom for a ride. This was lovely to see.
Aww, thanks for the comment Chuck.
That was lovely and your mother seems like a real gem!
Oh, she’s absolutely amazing. Thanks for the comment 🙂
Thought it was matt Damon on the thumbnail
I'll take that as a compliment, cheers buddy!
@@onairclub lol you're welcome
Your right he does look like Matt Damon!!!
Great video, moms are great 👌🏻😎😂
Absolutely 😁

Dude! You're flying your Mum!!! 😢 How coooool!!!
It was a unique experience, for sure!
I'm not sure how I ended up on this video, but I really enjoyed it. Congrats on this achievement. Your dad would be proud, and we can all see your mum was.
Aww, thanks Marcus. Love your videos.
For a moment I thot it was Matt Damon.. awesome surprise for your mom bruv
I’m not going to complain about the comparison… Thanks for the feedback Tom!
Cool Mum.
She is! 😄
This looks very very... very familiar to me lol!! Almost as if I had done something just like this a couple years earlier. Congrats on the achievment! Welcome to the Skies.
No way! Thanks for commenting buddy, love your videos. Safe flying 🛫
You cheeky boy!
