Thank you! 😃
Loved this blog, great job Becky & very interesting. Nice seeing your lovely mum ❤
Fantastic vlog Becky. Total natural. 😊. Thanks for talking about your flying era. Very interesting. 👍. Loved it..xxxx
Glad you enjoyed it x
you are a complete natural at vlogging, absolutely brilliant seeing your old haunts and taking us around, keep the vids coming becky and have a great week.
Thankyou! glad you enjoyed, have a great week yourself. x
Reminds me of my own first solo cross country in a PA28 out of EGNT way back in ‘81. Memories of a daunting undertaking ending with a mix of elation and relief that it went to plan on the day! Keep up the vlog’s Becky, great stuff.
It's such an experience isn't it. I flew into EGNT a few times it's a great route from the south over the bridges. x
Loved the video Becky, so natural and some great little anecdotes, wonderful
Glad you enjoyed it x
I love going back to old haunts years later. It can definitely be emotional - like it was in a past life. Loved that you could take your Dad up for a spin too. I bet he’s dead proud of you!
He loved going flying with me, just wish I'd taken my mum up now she's made me feel bad haha!! Xx
Oh I loved that Becky… give us some more reminiscing of the flying days… it’s something pretty unique. 🙌👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it, I will do another Vlog about it I do have lots of stories. xx
Love watching you ❤️ please keep posting 🎉❤
Thankyou xx
Lovely vlog beck,very interesting glad you showed us the plane you usually flew x
Beck, you are a Wonder Woman! You have many talents and I enjoyed this video. Well done 👏
Thank you! 😊 xx
Lovely vlog,very interesting and you come across so natural on camera looking forward to more vlogs.
Thanks so much! 😊 x
Really fascinating Becky, so glad you took us back to your aviation days. Gotta feeling it was something we all kinda wanted to know but didn't quite feel it appropriate to ask. Thank you. Stu.
Lot's had asked about it, I will need to do another vlog about it as I only scratched the surface! xx
That was so interesting, Becky, thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Xx
Hi Becks, really enjoyed this insight into your flying career. I am too a Pilot, attained my PPL back in 1983 (at a very tender age) and have enjoyed flying ever since although never followed up along a Commercial route. Have also had a major interest in aviation from my earliest days when attending Air displays at the former RAF Wethersfield in Essex. The interest was sparked when at a display with my Dad & Uncle, they stood me on the bonnet of my Uncles car as an English Electric Lighting did a low & fast pass subsequently standing on its tail into a rapid climb. I promptly fell off the bonnet and have been hooked on all forms of aviation since. Loving your blogs, keep up the good work. Thank you. (Lionel, Colchester)
Hi Lionel. Great memories standing on the car bonnet! It was always the red arrows who got me I was and still are mesmerised by their tricks. It's definitely a passion that sticks around for life isn't it! X
Awesome vlog becks. And pilot too. What a very talented lady you are. Wow. Di. Xx
Thankyou glad you enjoyed it x
What a fantastic achievement being able to fly, very impressive 😊
Thankyou xx
Brilliant Becky keep em coming. Xx
Thankyou x
I really enjoyed your vlog Becky, I too got lost on my qualifying cross country back in 1999.
I was flying a PA-28 out of Gloucestershire Airport, heading if recall to Halfpenny Green.
Like you I departed in perfect conditions only to encounter really bad haze and couldn’t identify any land marks.
I took a deep breath and declared a “PAN PAN” ATC were incredible and so helpful, and personable.
I made my way back to Gloucester, humbled and embarrassed, but knowing I’d managed the situation correctly.
Thanks for sharing your story, it was great.
Oh gosh that sounds similar to my experience I had the haze appear too!! It's horrible isnt it but we got through it!! It must have been harder to spot landmarks in a low wing AC too, think that was the one benefit of the cessnas they had decent visibility. X
Once again beck loved the video looking forward to the next 👍
Thankyou x
..And the awesomeness that is Beck & Beyond continues...keep it up x
Thankyou x
Fantastic Becky, I love planes even though I had a scary flight many years ago. You are very natural and confident, looking forward to your future adventures.
Thanks so much! xx
Love wentworth! ❤️Great Vlog!Try Walkers at Blaxton /Aukley Doncaster !! Not too far and also really good! X
Great thanks for the tip!
Loved this vlog enjoyed listening to your stories and how you became a pilot..🛩

Thank you! Will do! Xx
Ecxcellent vlog Beck very interesting look forward to the next

Fab blog again Beck. I absolutely love that song - the original is amazing, but I really love this version!! 😍😍
Yeah it's a pretty cool version Gurty Beats on sound cloud. xx
Really good video, thanks for posting. I’d also from Yorkshire, I learned at Sherburn. Keep the videos coming 😎
I flew to Sherburn a few times on my travels, hope you're still flying! X
@@BeckandBeyond I’m about to purchase a share in an aircraft after an 8 month break. I’ll be glad to be back in the air! Are you still flying?
Brilliant video becky i was always taken to airshows by my parents and have loved anything to do with aviation ever since so really enjoyed it thanks x
Airshows are a great experience, I need to start taking my boy, it' certainly gets under your skin! xx
Wow. Amazing Becky. So interesting to hear about your flying past. Take care ✈️ x
Thankyou xx
Wow what an exciting career. Excellent vlog
Something to be very proud of Becky. Who knows, maybe you'll take it up again. Great vid. 😎
Thankyou yes hopefully in the future! xx
Omg how terrifying being lost on your own in a plane. I’ve been terrified lost in a works van 😂😂😂 Well done for landing safely x
😂😂 x
Great stuff Becky. Hard work getting your ppl but great fun. I remember having to learn the phonetic alphabet A for Alpha, B for Bravo, Q for Cucumber etc.
🤣 cucumber! I still use it daily somethings you never lose! X
Brilliant Beck, loved it, so interesting, girl of many talents. My brother used to fly, too complicated for me. Well done you!
Lucy xx
Ah I hope your brother takes you out!? It's not too complicated you'd be surprised, the exams were the hardest part. x
Very interesting, good video well done keep up the good work.
❤🎉❤ That was so cool to listen to your story about getting in to aviation ,thankyou 🙏 looking forward to your next episode 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! X
Another great story from a great lady. Great information. Very natural and it always helps being pretty and well presented as always x
Thankyou xx
That was brilliant well done you 😊
Thankyou x
Such an interesting vlog. I really admire you achieving a PPL and having an amazing career. I worked for the CAA and at the end of my career worked in the Control Tower Building at Heathrow. Used to see Concorde take off every morning. It was such a wonderful sight. Do you keep up your license.? Margaret from Longwick
Wow what an amazing experience that must have been! I've only seen/been on concorde on the ground and never saw her fly. My best experience was flying abeam the Vulcan (briefly as it was) my license has expired how but I might get back in to it one day. Xx
Fantastic life you must have had and do now I hope . Found your blog really interesting and I hope it influences other girls to think I could do that. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you .xx
That would be lovely if it influenced other girls to take up flying. Glad you enjoyed. Xx
A great learning experience! ❤
Another good video Becky, great content great delivery.
Thankyou xx
Very interesting thanks for sharing 🛩️🛫
Well done Becky. That was interesting. Terrance!
Thanks Terrance x
Another interesting and brilliant video from flight commander Becks . Your getting very good at doing vlogs.
Thankyou I'm trying 🙏 xx
You had my hubby's dream job, well done, must be amazing and quite scary on the 1st flight ❤
Thankyou, it was a little scary at times 😣 but it's all down to experience I suppose! xx
Such an interesting vlog Becky.
So talented and modest. Getting a Pilots Licence is not easy,so qudos to you.
You just get better and better.
Stay safe and thanks
Thankyou so much, I'm glad you found it interesting. Xx
Great vlog Becky,yes enjoyed this,you are a natural 😊
Thankyou xx
Well done becky that was very honest and interesting to see how you got your pilots license.
Would be nice and very interesting to find that lovely guy who put you on the right track when you were lost if he's still around after 18 years of course .
Again thanks for letting us into your life.❤❤
He is still and probably always will be a good friend, we don't speak often unfortunately life gets in the way sometimes. Xx
Excellent Becky ❤🎉 great vlog again🥰
I went in the simulator for pilot training back in the day 😬 I flew Jumbo Jet to New York and Concorde to Hong Kong and I was so proud that I didn’t crash and didn’t go into the sea but landed just how I should . I had the time of my life , it was amazing and did consider taking it up. I also flew a glider which was gorgeous as was silent in the wind and felt magical ❤ the good old days and will never forget them 🥰 so thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences with us xx
Sim experiences are incredible aren't they!? sounds like you were a natural.
I've never been in a glider I can imagine its a fabulous experience, although they did used to put the fear of god into me as they are so difficult to spot and would just appear suddenly 😂 xx
@@BeckandBeyond you are the natural , you did the full Monty . I just dabbled. I love your vlogs Becky , a natural 🎉🧚♀️🦋 I admire your courage xx 🥰
Great vid / Great topic 👍👍👍
Fabulous vlog Becky, very interesting, IV never been in a plane at all ever..you go girl, nice to see your instructor too. Lunch looked good, and nice to see your mum looks good too.
Carry on the good work.

Very natural. You are getting good at this 👍
Thankyou xx
Brilliant presentation Becky ❤❤
Thankyou x
Hi Becky 👋, great insight into you flying career, 🛩 drove past Gamston a couple of weeks back now, didn't realise you could pop in to the cafe like that. Question we would like to know is: Where are you at with your flying career now if indeed you are still flying? P.S Channel is flying along itself 👍
Sam and Cat ❤
Ah next time you're over that end nip in its a great cafe!! I haven't flown for a while but may get back into it for a hobby I'd love to take my son flying! It's just an expensive hobby unfortunately! X
Thank me in the future, James wing walking!
@@Andy-MijasCosta 🤣
Brilliant thoroughly enjoyed your vlog
Thankyou xx
Loved your blog great stories keep the good work going martin tracy in hull
Thankyou xx
The modern day amy Johnson 🛩 great vid 👍
😊 thankyou x
hi beck. me again. great vlog very interesting. if it all goes wrong you can fall back on your hi vis and become a carpark control. womble. ❤👍👍
Carpark control brilliant 😂😂 glad you enjoyed! x
This was great, I loved hearing your stories. And you're right, it's never the same when you go back to places, like places of work, I've done it as well. If I had, had the opportunity like yourself I think I would have jumped at the chance to become a pilot. How many years altogether did you fly? Loved seeing your mum there as well. You all have a wonderful week, take care.
I flew for about 10 years in total including training. It was too good an opportunity to turn down!
Enjoy your week too x
Becky you are a natural, this was very entertaining. Talking to camera obviously runs in the family. Can I ask do you still do any flying or have you let your license lapse? Hope you do more vlogs about you flying career. Maybe you could be the woman to encourage more girls to take to the skies. Take care and I look forward to you next edition. x
Thankyou glad you enjoyed it. My license has lapsed currently but wouldn't take much to get back in at the base level, hopefully I'll renew sometime in the future. I will do another vlog about it there are lots of stories! x
Great video Becky, I enjoyed that. It looks like you have been doing these Vlogs for years now! 😀 All the best ….Smithy
Thanks Smithy, xx
What a superb insight into your piloting days. You are a natural vlogger. Nice to see your Mom too, hope she is feeling better. Loved the cute doggies again too. When was your last flight ?
Haha we have to get a cute pup in when we can! I haven't flown for about 5 years now 😔I need to get back up there!! Thankyou my mum is much better it was good to get her out of hospital! x
Interesting blog Becky, my daughter had a flying lesson for her 21st from that airport and they flew over our house in Doncaster, I don't think it inspired her to carry on with lessons though 😂
Aw thats a shame she didn't carry on we need more female pilots! a great experience for her though! x
How fascinating. I'm from a family of seven children, same stable but all different. I was a bench worker and my twin sister a bank manager but underneath we're the same,seems the same with you and James.
Absolutely!! How lovely being part of a big family, my mum is one of 7 too x
Well done Becky such a lovely start to your youtuble vlogs keep it up no pressure lol x
Gosh I am feeling the pressure!! I keep having content crisis! x
Brilliant Becky very interesting ❤
Thankyou. X
Loving the content! Keep it coming Becky 😉
Thankyou xx
Cheers Beck for the Air Vlog most interesting. If you ever get your PPL renewed , may be you might fancy trying out for Jets? , a Lear may be ?
Possibly, I'd definitely renew my twin license, the expense of it is the biggest issue really. X
@BeckandBeyond Yeah Understand that and a bit more than my Glider Pilots Licence (Hehe) , take care .
Fab, fantastic and courageous, it must have taken real guts to learn to fly and fly planes, well done Becky!🛫✈️🛬
Thankyou, xx
fantastic vlog and thank you for sharing your journey into aviation , i fly paragliders and love aviation myself 🥰
Thankyou, I was always a bit scared of paragliders, I can imagine it's great fun though! X
My friend died in a paragliding accident he was only 42
I wish i could say that i was the air traffic controller..for the hug ❤
Here's a virtual hug for you🤗 xx
..Brilliant once again...... 😊
Thankyou x
Great tales. Had a flight lesson for my 40th. Engine failed in the 1947 Cessna just before take off…and failed once more when airborne. I steered the aircraft whilst the instructor searched for a suitable place to ditch…royally testing my mettle! We limped back into Blackpool airport and I headed to the boozer for a gallon of wine! Congrats on the channel. Good luck :)
PS - great shades!
Goodness me!! That bad luck!! You must have been a wreck!! A 1st experience like that would have put me off for life I think! X
Well done lovely vlog ❤
Thank you 😊 x
I enjoyed that!
Thankyou x
Really is girl power, such an interesting time in your life. So enjoying watching your channel, cups of tea & interesting chat. Much prefer to your brother booze, booze & fish & chips 😂
Ah thankyou so much! I'm going to tell James that one 🤣 x
Absolutely fantastic video Becky. I thoroughly enjoyed that! Girl power!!!!! 😁 Xx
✊Girl Power 😁 Thankyou glad you enjoyed it xx
Enjoyed this 👍
Thankyou x
Becky really interesting background to your ppl do you miss flying still ?
Oh gosh yes!! I hopefully will get to renew and a get up there again. X
Great vlog, wow what a clever girl you are and a beautiful one at that. I bet you've had some great adventures in your days, I thought there would be more ladies flying by now as we seem to be taking over men 🤣🤣🤣thank you for sharing some of your life with us x✈
I was surprised more girls aren't coming through too a little disappointing. Our take over doesn't extend to flying 🤣🤣 xx
very intresting need some more x
Yes I'll probably cover some more, it could have been a very long vlog! 😆 x
Thanks Becky for doing my request really interesting, I take it you don't fly anymore ? My flying days was from RAF Woodvale & RAF Sealand but no wasn't a pilot, Great Love it xxx
Glad you enjoyed it!. I havent flown for quite a while but never say never I'd really like to take my son flying one day. I used to fly lots near the RAF bases in Lincolnshire, Conningsby and Waddingham I loved speaking to the RAF atc. X
@@BeckandBeyond Well as you say Becky go for it ? And yes I was in the ATC loved it x
Did a bit of flying in the cadets,powered gliding helicopters in Cyprus, parachuting in donny.submarines in tenerife happy days.if captain slow can fly i bet anybody could fly.
WOW! some great experiences! I bet parachuting in donny was interesting, not sure i'd have the nerve for that! x
Very interesting video. Are you still flying? Thanks Rebecca.
Hi becky interesting vlog .. congratulations being a pilot x
Thank you! 😊 x
So interesting Hun..clever girly..👍..x
Thank you! 😊 x
Hi Becky, how many years were you a pilot for? and why did you give it up? Was it when you had a family? Love your vlogs.
Thankyou. In total including training I flew for 12 years. It was when I had my son that I changed jobs. X
Smashing
Heck yeah!!
My Husband started doing fixed wing then went to helicopters so I can appreciate all the work you did to gain your license. Do you keep your hours up? Really great interesting vlog.
Wow he went to helicopters! Now they are a challenge!! I haven't flown for quite a while but do fancy getting checked out and upto date again. Xx
Really enjoyed your vlog. How long did you fly as a career for, was it always small aircraft, and is it costly to use those small aircraft to travel?
The biggest I flew was a 10 seater, although I am qualified for airliners. It can be expensive it depends on when and where you are going x
