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

Love it! Always a joy to see new pilots taking loved ones up... keep them coming!

You can tell his mom knows his son well enough she wasn't entirely shocked but completely trusts him! ❤

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

His mother was surprisingly calm. This was a treat! Congrats to the pilot for pulling this off! 🎉

Mum is pretty good at Navigation !! She can recocgnise towns, villages, roads and even specific hills from the air. Well done Mum.

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.

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 !

Love how mum has complete confidence in her sons surprise take off and flying!

"You're a bit of a bugger!" Answer: " I am yes"....classic

The look of joy on mums face was priceless proud mother there mate well done 👏

lovely, she must be so proud of him! She trusts him completely.

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. 👍

that look on your mum's face when you told her Mark was not coming.... priceless...lol good job bud

Lol, good for you! Seeing her ear-to-ear grin was all worth it!

just inviting family members to your private flight is amazing!

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.

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.

"I'll never trust you again." Whilst showing the most trust possible by literally putting her life in your hands. :)

ik your mom was surprised but you can tell in her face she was also very proud. what a wholesome video.

What a wonderful surprise for your mother. My father learned to fly but I never got to fly with him. Thank you for sharing.

she is so very proud. nice to see

Just beautiful to watch . Your mum is so proud

Americans love when British people call each other "cheeky"! Such a sweet mother and son.

What a beautiful moment - to be able to take the woman who gave you life for a flight through the skies.

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!

what a sweet thing to do, a memory that'll they both have forever. And your Grandfather was there smiling and smoothing the airstream.....like all angels do....

what else havent you told Mum ? 🤔🤔😂😂😂 bravo young man , her smile is fantastic 👍👍🤗🤗🤗

Mum is smiling in spite of the cheeky boy. Fair Dinkum. It was good.

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.

Mum being shocked and proud all at once

The Mom seems so calm, I'd probably be freaking out, lol.

Well done Mate, this is my first time finding your channel and this was a great video to start with. You can tell your Mum was so proud and happy. This made my heart happy. Happy flying.

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!!

She was definitely surprised 😮

As a mom, this brings proud tears to my eyes! Love this!!

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!

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.

That was a fun way to let her know! Lol loved the look she gave. Great video!

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!

Mum is so proud of you! ❤ You're a right bloke! 😊

Mate, you are so blessed to be able to do that for your mum…. Such a priceless experience…🙏🏻

That is a very nice bird. Good passenger.

“u cheeky boy” priceless

Bless you and your mother

"... you cheeky boy..." You'll remember that forever :) "...that's where we got married..." Was waiting for you mum to say, "you're married?!"

How lovely! Thank you for sharing this sweet video! ❤ My heart is so full for both of them!

Mum's are the best!!!

Well done. That was a pearler. thanks for posting.

I love your Mum's reaction of you revealing that you're flying without the pilot you were waiting on

She is proud of you ! god bless her ! great son and mom !

Dan, you are a very naughty boy ...... but very funny. What a lovely surprise for your Mum 👍

The perfect approach and landing was the cherry on top :)

She seemed to enjoy it so that makes you a very good boy.

Priceless! What a great sport you mum is!

this was really wholesome. I was expecting some freakout reaction of slight panic like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING AREN'T WE SUPPOSED TO WAIT" XD

The way she was gleaming ❤, proud mama

What an endearing video! Your mum's an absolute delight. Congrats on your PPL.

You cheeky boi, doing pranks on your mom ! Lovely video

Bless mum! Love the video Dan ❤

Your mum is a treat, what a lovely person, and you’re a son she is proud of, congrats to you both. Well done, 🌈🦘

This was so lovely, thank you!!

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! 🙂

Her smile was the best thing in the video. Well done. I was waiting for you to start freaking out as you gained speed and acted like the plane was out of control. 😂

For a moment I thot it was Matt Damon.. awesome surprise for your mom bruv

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.

I was starting to ponder doing the same with my mother in the local club for glider pilots :)

You made your mom happy

You've got a great mum there mate. Lucky man.

Awh...bet your mum was really thrilled not to mention very proud 🤣

That was lovely and your mother seems like a real gem!

Whaha 🤣 i lover yer mom 🤣 these kind of videos never get old.

Great stitch, good job!!! xx🤗🤗

wish i still had my mom around to take up in the air. beautiful video and grats!!

You have just put to rest the old pilot joke "How do you know when you're talking to a pilot? He'll be sure to tell you." :)

geez man thats massive to pull off. Well done.

You’re a cheeky thing Danny. 😂 Great reveal!

Very cheeky... but fun! Thank you.

having flone in alot of planes alike its a great feeling, happy for you that you where able to share it with your Mother!

Love it! "You cheeky Boy!" lol

Mom must be very happy!

My mother doesn't trust my flying. Anytime I ask her if she wants to go somewhere, take her up in the Piper. She tells me she rather not have her last moments falling from the financial disaster called my "plane" Some are just not meant for the skies. You two look great flying up there!

Dude! You're flying your Mum!!! 😢 How coooool!!!

"You cheeky boy!" :D

very very touching, well done mate, i have done something similar but my father knew i was a pilot...cheers from Portugal

Aww that was adorable

Brilliant

Cool Mum.

Delightful ❤

Well done 😂 nice surprise..i love it

🤣😂 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!

Excellent.

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.

Brilliant.

Excellent Nice work, new subscriber. Enjoy the wings. Safe travels

Pretty great!
