Aviation Is Hard // Welcome to Average Aviator 

As some one who cant stop thinking about their first Cessna flight near Pittsburgh 15 ish years ago, it is really nice to find your channel about an average aviator. Its not just great views but real information about what I can expect if i start taking classes.

Can relate, not super rich and love aviation! Keep it up man

“Suck” is necessary for “Success”! Keep pursuing your dreams!

Hang in there man! Love watching your videos! Always been intrigued by aviation, but never had the drive to pursue it. Love that you took the proverbial 'leap!'

Keeping it real, love it.

Good video. I hope that paperwork gets moving for you.

I can definitely relate! I have a similar story and I've been in and out of aviation. I'm currently getting back in and in the process of buying my first airplane. A Mooney M20D! I've also been thinking about joining the RU-vid aviation community in an effort to try to inspire other "older" people who perhaps had to step away from aviation like me (because family life tends to get in the way). Good luck! I look forward to seeing more videos.

Life is just like this no matter what you are doing. Sometimes it feels as if you are taking 3 steps backwards. However, God has a plan for you and your family, just listen to Him. I am sure years or even months from now you will look back on this time and wonder why you stressed over it. Love you -- G-ma.

You don’t need a degree to be a pilot.... I am not saying don’t get a degree... What I am telling you is to get your hours and license as soon as you can... this is a great time in our industry and you need to ride the wave up because it won’t last... I am a 320 capt and if you need any advice I will help you.

I have a mooney thank I am putting together. For most part a lot people are supportive, but there are some that are thief.

Average thank you. I have been watching a flying channel that was really good. But as the years advanced the planes went from attainable to richy rich. No thank you.

Owning is one thing but maintaining it is another.

I appreciate the honesty. Keep your head up. You are not alone. I been in and out of aviation process. I have over 120 hrs and still no private certification. My written has expire and I have to retake it. At this point I am thinking of buying an airplane, possibly mooney. Question, I am 6 foot, 250lbs, will I fit in a Mooney m20c? I will probably be by myself since my wife hates flying.

I know this is way after the fact but I gotta say I felt this in my sole! As a prior 135 Boom and current 141 student pilot finally on the brink of my first solo, this video came across my feed at just the right time. From one enlisted aviator to another thanks for paving the way and for keeping it real!

Thank you. I just discovered this channel today and I've been gong through a rough spot in my training. I'm trying to get IFR rated at the same time as my commercial certificate and I've ran into the same money issues. Hearing your words is just what I needed right now.

Dude I would like to thank you for doing this video. Many of us love flying but can't relate to many of these millionaire you tubers because none of what they do is realistic for the rest of us. You inspired me to buy a Mooney and you keep motivating people like myself who can't afford the latest g1000.

Stay positive you do great things. Your rewards are going to come.
