Thank all three of you (and others) for your service and sacrifice. I can only imagine Mom and Dad being very proud of their son in following his dreams and following his folks footsteps into a military career in aviation. I also can only imagine the son's being proud of his folks for influencing his choice into a military aviation career and to have them meet him and have his Mom guide him into his parking slot. Thanks also to the Squadron Commander and Base Commander for allowing this to happen. To you two as well, thank you for your service, for supporting those who have served, supporting those who are serving under you and for supporting your military families. Regards Kalvin N New Brunswick, Canada
LOVE the fact that the ground crew guy kept pointing out to the pilot that he needs to be looking at his Mom for signals NOT him. "Don't look at me, I'm not running the show today; YOUR MOM IS!" Amazing, beautiful moment.
Can you imagine what the pilot was thinking if he didn't know his parents were waiting at the end of the road for him? He was probably like "Mom?? What's she doing here?"😅
What an honor for both Mom and pilot son! Fighting back some tears at seeing this reunion. I'm 77 and proudly served 35 years in the USAF. Cheers to all! Bob Powell, CMSgt, USAF(Ret)
My dad did 26 after doing several years in the Newfoundland Regiment. Both mom and dad were vets. Miss them both very much. Thank all of you for your service.
I am an Iranian vet of the Iran-Iraq war, member of an elite Airborne unit rescuing our Pilots behind the enemy lines. By seeing this, I have remembered our pilots we have rescued in some miserable conditions and injuries. Specially, one F4 Phantom pilot tried his best to save his wingman and lost, even after being hit multiple times. War is a mess, you can't come out so easy.
Okay I am crying, for a son and the Airforce to arrange this is simply amazing and wonderful. That mom must have been beaming with pride. For all the women and men who protect and serve for the USA , I Thank You for your service. My father was in WW2. Airforce. I am 57. He passed when I was just 28. I had older parents. The Airforce is the best. ❤
This a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm ex-mil, Army Aviation. I had a similar opportunity. Difference being I trained and mentored a young man from the age 13 and dreaming of flight to today as a 27 year old captain flying freight, single pilot on a KA 350. He flew his KA 350 into KFTY for this years graduation of high school seniors from the youth program, Aviation Career Enrichment, Inc. He was preparing to depart, and I asked the ground handler if I could marshal him out. He hesitated and agreed. Talk about a full circle, emotional moment.
That was amazing, my late husband severed in the USAF. I was proud to be a small part of helping him with him service to his country even if Im not American (British) I was still proud.
Thank you! Speaking from experience, you were probably more than a “small part” of his service. I couldn’t have done anything without the love and support of my wife.
This is cool act by the Air Force to let the parent participate in guiding his son parked his jet. I wish I did it on my Navy son who had his FINI flight on his F18E Super Hornet, but nevertheless glad that the Squadron let me walk in the tarmac when my son parked his jet and poured champaign on him while his squadron mates sprayed water on him. It was quite an experience and am very proud of him. I wish him luck and be safe in the transition to fly the F35C.
Proud Mom of an 8yr Navy-Air Force veteran Daughter here. This video I had to watch several times. My dad was a helicopter pilot. Grew up in flight. All I could think of was how this mom, 1st time leading her son, was teaching him to walk. Directing him towards her as he took his 1st steps. Most likely gave him driving lessons. Then on to this special day. Melts my heart ❤️.
I am a British Man and Patriot who supports our Armed Forces of the UK plus who doesn't cry easily, couldn't help shed tears watching this incredible video of a brilliant mother bringing in her two hero son's in there F15 fighter bombers to a stop at there Aircraft parking space.

20 years as a C-141A/B Crew Chief. Blocked in tons of various aircraft in my career. I would’ve given a years pay to experience something like this with my Mom. What an awesome blessing. ❤
@@hikerhobby1204 I know from experience how that memory is burned in your brain. I was my son’s first salute when he commissioned and he was my final salute when he was the presiding officer at my retirement.
As a mother myself, I could feel the pride she had having her son safely back on the ground coming to her. Touching video. God Bless all the pilots and guide them home safely.
Beautiful. Memories all will cherish for the rest of their lives. Very proud Mom & Pop. Hardest Job in the Military is a loved one hoping that their baby will make it out. Thanks to all the Parents of the Military Strong hold.
We have lots of USAF here in eastern Nebraska. I meet them in hobby stores. Restaurants. They're some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. Them and the other Navy, Marine and Army personnel here. Same when I lived in SoCal around bases like Pendleton or near Irwin and Edwards. We have the best! And the best allies!
That’s awesome and mom couldn’t be prouder. My dad served 26 years in the military and 6 was in the marine corps and 20 in the Air Force retiring as a major. I miss you dad! RIP!
Gosh Dang It, Who is cutting onions in the room. I am not crying, you are crying. Wonderful video, God Bless the producer, the family and this Great Country.
Such a cool video! I used to work at SJAFB before I retired, where this squadron is based, and met a lot of amazing people there. So grateful to this young Airman and everyone in our Military for keeping us safe!
I'm 75 and honorably discharged from the Marines. My mother married a career marine. Growing up I believed my mother would have been the most beautiful drill instructor the world had ever seen. She was gung ho all the way! I watched that woman on the tarmac and all I could see was my mother!
I remember the day I took my parents up in a sailplane, one at a time. Sharing my love of aviation with them was one of the pinnacles of my aviation experience. But I can't imagine how cool it was for this guy, let alone his parents, to get to participate like this. Best welcome home video ever!
Dang, this has me tearing up 😢. What an honor to have your mom guide you and park this beautiful high power beast! ❤ Thank you for your service and bless you and your mom.
USAF vet (NCO). Now a certified pilot myself. Yes I teared up for this proud moment! She was there when he took his 1st breath and got his drivers license. Now he commands the sky!
I remember coming home from the first gulf war desert storm. And to see my whole family waiting for me just tore me up. Being 18 years old leaving them behind not knowing if we will see each other again was tough. Seeing my mom run to me was like a dream cause I didn't know she could run that fast but it was so relieving to see them. I was gone for 7 months
That was so Amazing. This is Beautiful. I love 💘 our Military Families. God Bless you All. Our proud American Men and Women of the Air Force. Thank you for your Service to our Great Country USA❤❤❤
That was awesome, brought a tear to my eyes. What an honor for his mom to do this. I'm retired myself and I still miss this. It will always be a part of you. Fly High Mighty Air Force!
Beautiful....a mom's love brings you into this world and then to bring her son to a perfect landing with a huge plane he is flying is like give birth again...perfect...safe...and a heart full of love. I so happy they had this moment together ❤️
Bro i wanna shed a tear a little, this makes me proud to be an American, thank you to every military pilot, soldier, marine, etc.. for your service. It is deeply cherished by me. Thank you for keeping our country free!
I spent 8 of my first 11 years in the USAF working weapons systems on the F-15 C/D models. Being a son and having my parents visit the flight line on a TDY (Temporary Duty) to Holloman AFB, New Mexico, was a treat for my parents. This is an awesome treat for his Mom, who is well aware of what it took for her son to become an Air Force officer and pilot!
I’m also 65 and like the others, it certainly brought a tear to my eye as well, such a great moment for mother & son, a lasting memory that will never be forgotten…God Bless the good ol USA 🇺🇸👍🏻
I was in the Navy and worked with F-18s. We didn't use hearing protection all the time unless we were working intimately with the aircraft. This was a great video.
LOL! The guy in the blue Hawaiian shirt is dad. Retired USAF aircraft maintenance… he said he didn’t need hearing protection, he just left his hearing aids in the truck.
Beings we are all talking age...61, an AF brat and veteran....and emotions...I was moved to tears by this and not entirely sure why. Maybe because these are my people, the ones that I grew up with, and it just makes me happy. Reading the comments was as emotional. It is great to see and hear from all the military community. Thank you for the video and for sharing. This is the kind of video that belongs on the internet.
