Cessna 152 - The Ultimate Training Aircraft - Flight 

Sharp young pilot and very polite as well. Her dad must be very proud. Good story and good video, Bobby.

"I'm glad you're the future of aviation." Well, spoken. My thoughts exactly.

The Aviation community is so much fun to be part of. Enjoyed the vid!

I did my Private's training in a 152. Loved every minute.

Yes. Keep flying. I solo’ed in a 152 many years ago. N94186 is a number I will never forget.

What a beautiful ambience this video portrays. I got my PPL in Ireland in 1985 in a 152 and this brings back all the magic of that time.

My first solo was in a 152. I'm 6'4". I fly left foot left rudder, right foot right seat right rudder lol! She is the future! Well done!

Thanks Lyla wishing you all the best in your future !! Thanks Bobby for this video I use to have a C150G for 15 years and had about 2200hrs in it. retired now !! This one brought tears to my eyes !! Thanks again Carl !!

I am so unbelievably jealous rn , I’d kill to have even one person in my family with a background in aviation let alone the whole family ! What an amazing time it must be while also having strong support on your side . I hope to go far in this industry and hope my future kids take on the passion !

What a nice young woman with a strong passion for flying. Very cool!

I once (foolishly) made the statement, "If a 150/152 is all I can fly, I'd rather not fly." That glaring bit of ignorance came from the thought that I knew how to fly it. I assumed that if I hadn't crashed it, I knew how to fly. LOL Years later and a handfull of CFI ratings had me spending a good deal of time in the airplane. I came to appreciate what a great little airplane it is.

It's good to see that the future of aviation is in great hands!

Her 1978 Cessna 152 is a lot older than she is. I wish cars lasted that long

What an amazing place to grow up! I'm certain she will have a great future in aviation. Really cool.

150's/152's will always hold a special place in my heart. 36yrs ago we did full stalls and spins in them. 300 mile X-countries were required with no gps, Foreflight or Garmin pilot and the lil plane did it. Slips, crabs and dirtying up the plane for landings...it took it. You don't get into a 150/152, you put it on. Best DAMN trainers ever!!!

another great combo; it is so nice to see this young lady with such a bright future working hard towards her goal; i wish her the best; too bad our media wouldn't spend more time reporting on the success of our young people instead of at the courthouse reporting on crime; go Lyla you are our future and the future is yours

Cruise is 120 - that's amazing. My memory was something like 108.

Great video... I love to see young people in aviation exude enthusiasm for the craft such as this young lady does.

Wow, brings back great memories. I was a Student at La Tech years ago. Minored in Professional Aviation, member of the Alpha Eta Rho fraternity, and member of the Flight Team. So many memories. Back in the late 70's early 80's, before the Airport Moved.

As a long time CFI whose instructed in numerous SEL and MEL airplanes I can unequivocally state that the Cessna 150/152 series of airplanes are THE BEST civilian training airplanes ever produced. Predictable yet with enough traits to ensure the plot trainee can experience and learn how to handle “unique” flight characteristics that can, and DO, bite the pilot. Outstanding bird. Wish they were in the LSA category.

She'll be flying 787's some day.

Congrats young lady.

Nice story, really like the camera shot from the wing into the cockpit.

what a super nice girl. i hope my kids appreciate aviation and having an instructor dad the way she does :) Another GREAT video Bobby!!! Thanks!

How cool is that?. What an inspirational lady.

VERY COOL young lady! Hope to be a passenger one day when she's a Captain flying across the Atlantic. The future is much brighter than some would lead you to believe. BRAVO !

I'm glad she's the future of aviation too. Nice video, I truly enjoyed it.

Your camera angles are...AWESOME!👍

Lilah (spelling?) My 6-year old daughter Aily-Piper really liked seeing and watching you fly....she flys with me practically every weekend..All the best to you...Safe Flying

I did most of my flight training for my PPL in 152's. BTW, that was a really good landing. Great job!

Lyla you and this plane: Match made in heaven! Thanks for sharing it with us! 😄

Love the 152..flew them a lot in the 90s for my training

I just went up with a friend in his 152 for the first time, it was both exciting and scared the hell out of me! Good times

What a great young lady! So self assured and confident. I would love to have her as my airline pilot anytime. If you travel out West Bob, try to fit in the Fallbrook Sky Park in your journey's. Nice Little airfield next door to the Marine Corp. facility at Pendleton.

I remember being in high school and wishing I could afford to fly. Every now and then we would pass by the small airport about an hour away from our house. I made money in my summer job, but the distance and cost to do something that was pretty much entertainment (at the time I would've had to go into a lot of debt to get my licenses to fly commercially and the area didn't have much demand for instructors) it wasn't practical. It would've been a dream to be able to have the opportunity she was born into.

Great v log bobby again keep them coming, and what a lovely well spoken young lady dad must be proud

That sound....the memories. Thanks

Layla, I really liked your plane, family support, steady flight, but what I loved best was your smile! Tim

400 hours? More experience then some co-pilots.

Let me tell ya.. She's gunna make some airline very proud. And her Dad. She's gunna be a drop dead gorgeous capt one day..... She's got everything goin for her!! Congrats!!

This channel is going places... ^^ I can feel it.

Sparrowhawks are awesome! We have one in our flight school.

I trained in a C150 with a 150 HP power-plant when the C172 wasn't available. It's a capable plane. Thanks for the video and best wishes to Lyla and her future!

Very well done video, I love the 152 . It's what I first took primary training in and soloed in . This is a marvelous young lady, much success to her aviation career!

The 150/152 is not just for training. It is good for aerial work, especially when you need to just be in the air somewhere, particularly if you are looking at the ground a lot. We owned one that had been used for pipeline inspections, had a billion hours (seriously, like 10,000), all professionally flown with 100 hr inspections, no hard student landings, no touch and gos, all two hour low level cross country work videotaping the ground flying 90 kts, nice airplane. I have a 150-150 that we modified to pull gliders, but I use it for aerial photography, and I do make an occassional cross country in it when I need to and it is just me. It has two seats, but it works better as a one-person aircraft for cross country.

Thanks for another great video. I really enjoy the pilot commentary. This young lady has a very bright future ahead of her. I could easily see her owning her own private jet someday.

Awesome young lady! Thanks for sharing this video.

Learned to fly in a 150, first plane I ever owned , great video , great story!

That brings back memories, I got my license in the C152 forty years ago

Until I watched flying doodles I'd never heard of a airport community? 🛫🛩🛬🏠🏘thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Yet another well done video, Bobby! Kudos for highlighting "the future or aviation"!

A Wonderful young woman. I hope your family are very proud of you. Nice flying.

Great to see young people in aviation.

Awesome video and commentary, She is an amazing steward for the Industry. Thumbs up

Thanks Lyla and Bobby... very positive video...!

Outstanding! Always great to see people able to follow their dreams ! Enjoy watching your Aviation videos and your sailing videos as well thanks for sharing.

So cool to see this young lady's story and family life. I would have never imagined . Thanks for posting and good luck to her future aviation career.

Loved it. Thanks for the ride. Nice planes those Cessna 152's.

Appeared to be a great landing! For a moment I was having a difficult time finding that runway. Good future ahead of that young lady!

Great job young lady! Love ya Bobby...great channels!

That little plane is a rocket... So in love with 150 series. I did my first solo in one of those. Enought agile and small to make some light aerobatic maneuvers.

I'm doing my PPl training in a 152, they are great planes. The school I go to has 3, and each of them has their own little quirks.

The C152 is a great training aircraft for fully developed stalls spinning and cross winds.

Cool video. Nice to see someone that young, flying her own plane. Aviation has come a long way.

Thank you.

What a girl!!!! I hope everything goes well for her. She has a bright future.

I've flown most Cessnas, four-engine jets, ultra-lights, supersonic jets, and business jets. The Cessna 152 is my favorite of all of those. It is honest, easy to fly, and has perfectly balanced controls. I would love to have one with the sparrowhawk conversion.

Beautiful plane. I hope someday I will own a 150/152.

Thank you Lyla and Bobby.

My first experience with flying was in the 1960s at a small grass airport. I bummed rides in J-3s, J-4s, Aeronca Champs, and Cessna 140s. None of them had radios and most of them had 65 hp engines. No electric starters either. It truly was "seat of the pants" flying. I loved it. A 'whiskey compass', a needle and ball turn and bank indicator, airspeed, altimeter, and tach were the only instruments.

The 150/152 is wonderful and safe airplane, there is even an aerobatic version. I recommend it to everyone. And everyone should learn to fly. It is easy and costs about as much as a vacation.

Looked like very bumpy flying conditions followed by a great landing. Brilliant stuff!

I just found your channel. I like the videos. It’s ironic that first one was on the Piper Tomahawk and then this Cessna 152 since my first flying lesson was in a new Tomahawk and then my next instructor had a new Cessna 152. I can remember the call sign numbers, Cessna 6279M. I loved that plane from the mid 1980s. Makes me wish back for those good ole days. Thanks for the videos.

student pilot myself, finding your videos both great and inspieringt. Have to sub to this. Greatings from Sweden :P

Love hearing the pilot and tower comms❤️

152 such a stable reliable maneuverable economical dream machine.

Great video, thanks for sharing. The future of aviation is fun to watch, her enthusiasm brings back fond memories of getting started in aviation when I was Lyla’s age.

"When one door closes, another one opens. Other than that, it's a pretty good Cessna" ))

Hey man the dog is part of the security personnel, yes, he is undercover.

Great little trainer. I got my ticket in the 152 thirty years ago ! 😳

I love that your Dad stands out there and watches you land. beautiful.

Such a lucky young woman, good luck going forward and happy and safe landings.

Great job young lady. I still have all my stuff when I took lessons but unfortunately I had some bad experiences and quit, wish I hadn't now

Great flying, all the best for your future ! Cessnas are still beautiful A/C 's.

Wow - she's an impressive pilot!

The best, very good and beautiful. congratulations!

The Cessna 152 is an excellent trainer, that filled the transition from the WW2 trainers both British and US and the rest of the world. The most valuable asset it has, is its an excellent trainer for spinning. The C152 is a very positive and aggressive spinning aircraft. Spin training on a C152 teaches the pilot so much about high speed stall recover, VNE and spatial awareness. I know the FAA don't approve the C152 and PA28 etc., for spinning training but in the rest of the world in many countries use the C152 for spin training. It can show you so much to realize what a mess you can get into with VFR/IFR weather and hi speed stalling a think that the C152 does very well. The above training knowledge is vital for every pilot, especially if you are plaining to learn IFR flight and get an instrument rating. Retired CPL

A delightful competent young lady….thanks for allowing us to share.

Great videos. I'm so happy to find this. Great job young lady.

I miss flying 152s. I have not flown one in 20 years. When I started flying they were everywhere and now they are becoming scarce which is sad.

Bobby, look into flying with Trent Palmer and the Flying Cowboys up their in the northern California - Nevada area. They fly mostly LSA's

I’m very jealous of this young lady.

Very good video.She has a big future ahead of her.

Love seeing young people excited for aviation.

Awesome to see the young ones owning this stuff! Nice landing too. If you come to Arizona, let’s fly my fully restored, award-winning Luscombe 8A/C85.

That's very cool - she seems like she's well on her way. It's really nice that her family supports her in that way.

What a great thing to see her so proficient and doing great things with aviation. Thanks.

That pencil holder on the door!!!!! So awesome, I wish the 152 I train in had that.

GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you for sharing. I spend my daze in an MD80 and dear lord how I miss the 152 ... your video brought back some really fine memories and it was so nice to watch. God bless you.

The aviation community especially among pilots is so cool and fun to be a part of! 😁
