Congratulations!!! Great job Bella, beautiful flying. Brings back memories of my solo back in 1975. A 150 and no headphones, pavement for about 100 feet on both ends of the runway and caliche in between. Bird's Nest Airport Manor TX. Dual was $21/hr wet, solo was $13.

[@turdwarbler]

I have seen a lot of these first solo videos, and most seem to be more interested in making a video for YT rather than being the PIC of a SEP. This video is much better, more like a fly on the wall rather than the drama queens and kings I have seen. Well done you handled that very professionally, I would have you fly me around any day.

[@Joe_Not_A_Fed]

She is a well trained pilot. Great radio work and checklists. Smooth control. Center of runway landings in the zone. Even leaned to taxi. Can't get better than that. Congrats, Bella.

[@garyhoe466]

One of the best solo videos I’ve watched. No macho crap for FB or KZbin…….. just authentic raw emotion of a once in a lifetime experience. Nice job Bella! Hope you’re still flying and following your dream😃

[@AeroworksProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OSUWSP]

"I got this", "This is so cool".....YEAH YA DO! Great job Bella! There's nothing like that feeling when your instructor steps out and it's all you!! Bravo Zulu Bella!!!

[@ar-15techtipsinunder5minut8]

If I had a beer for every time she said "oh my gosh", I would be an alcoholic pilot. EXCELLENT!

[@wmdouglas3]

She displays a great confidence on the radio…..very well done!!

[@genevetere]

1975.Solberg Airport. Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. Thank you for bringing back all the great memories of my first solo.

[@waldoinaz]

This video has gone viral. Every time Bella says “oh my gosh” the viewers have to slam a shot. I passed out cold by 2:37.

[@Hank-the-Writer]

Takes me back to my first solo -- happened to be a sailplane (later single engine & instrument). I recall thinking at the moment I left the ground that now I had to do EVERYTHING -- including land. Somehow I made it. Thanks, Aeroworks, for the memories.

[@chuckewe]

“This is good!” I love it. The self-talk, awesome when you’re alone and it’ll bode you well if you ever fly dual pilot/commercial. It’s always helped me reassure/confirm/remember things! And man, you greeeeeeeased those landings. So sweet!

[@joseph2095]

There's something very emotional and rewarding for me watching first time solo videos. I soloed in 1970 and it was such a big thrill.Congrats Bella! Tears of joy.

[@genevetere]

You can see, feel and hear the confidence building with each exercise.

[@peterandkodiak9762]

I'm a student pilot here in western Washington. This video is extremely inspiring! As a guy,.............I held back the tears as you gracefully took to the sky after stating; "Oh my gosh" several times. Excellent communication w/tower and great flying skills! "You go girl"!!! A+

[@AeroworksProductions]

Well said!

[@skipdeedon9939]

Love this! Thanks for posting. Brought back so many great memories. Mine was in May of 1970. 😳 Same runway.

[@ABQSentinel]

Congratulations! It's so funny watching this, as she simultaneously expresses her nervousness and excitement and gives herself a reassuring, "I got this" during taxi, as I pretty much did the exact same thing on my first solo. I guess we all do. Very nice first solo! Landing was much better than mine!

[@tasercs]

The touchdowns were so smooth, I wasn't sure you had actually touched the ground... right on the stall horn. I expect you are an airline pilot by now.... 😁

[@GaryLaaks1]

Hay, beautiful first solo landing. Much better performance with just you on board right. Well done Bella. Wishing you years of happy uneventfull piloting.

[@wesleycardinal8869]

Congratulations! That was a great little video, it's amazing the shots you can get from those 360 cameras, really puts us in the picture. I think your instructor sounded nervous when he sent you off, you were very cool!

[@AeroworksProductions]

Thanks so much!

[@skipcantor868]

Congratulations Bella. You did an amazing job. I remember my first solo more than 40 years ago. You aced it girl. You will be an amazing pilot whatever your aspirations are in aviation. Keep on keeping on. Peace and be happy.

[@erinfincher7676]

It's wonderful to see young ladies get into aviation!! You have giving me confidence to take flying lessons!

[@Tow69er]

Great Job Young Lady!! Congrats on the solo

[@donaldpayne9658]

Brings back memories of my flying lessons with the same airplane 152 Cessna.

[@aguyinnc2865]

Great job Bella, you made this look easy! I personally would have been freaking out lol! Always wanted to learn how to fly, but I'm getting on in years, and I can't understand a word of what the guy in the tower is saying! Anyway best wishes, hope all your flights are safe and fun!

[@JHuisman-be1ev]

Very nicely done. I soloed at KUGN 50 years ago this past May.

[@hiyamichelle]

Look at you!!! Congratulations baby girl ❤Love you

[@RBBarry]

I get this same giggly feeling all over every time someone greases it on.

[@matsuda150]

Congrats Bella! Yes, God is Good! Happy flying!

[@michaelw8429]

Congratulations! Every move was smooth and timely. You handled the extended downwind decision easily. Your radio cmo was smooth clear and concise. Good job asking for a repeat repeatedly 😬.

[@annamariedenny]

Whoo hoo!! So fun to watch. Congratulations, Bella! Absolutely amazing 🎉

[@danielchurchill9004]

Congrats to her and you sir! Well done!!!

[@AeroworksProductions]

[@garyrasso6149]

Congrats Bella. A day you’ll never forget. Welcome to the club.

[@waqarsyed6641]

[@shyammohabir8283]

Congrats - Bella made you a very proud dad indeed!! She will be an excellent pilot -

[@timedek]

So nice to see it and feel it again. Only a few know this feeling, Love it! Thank you for sharing.

[@geolson1]

Very well done! Congrats! Reminded me of my solo....many moons ago!

[@markstevens6359]

Great Job Bella! Very nice pitch control in the roundout and touch down! Great centerline control... as my good friend , AF instructor and United Airline Capt Travis White says.. "The center line is reserved for professionals!" Well you fly like a pro, so fight for C/L all the time, even when taxiing! Trim is your FRIEND! TRIM TRIM TRIM... Keep up the great work! Get that written done, you will be on your way to your practical test in no time now...

[@ianjnelson]

[@larrykrise3609]

way to go bella.very nice landings.

[@MartyMitchell92660]

Congratulations Bella! Awesome job. It's my policy to only fly with pilots that can fly and chew gum at the same time :) Welcome to the club! See you at the flying field!

[@5xls]

So Awesome!

[@terryboyer1342]

Awesome Bella! 👍

[@slayer8actual]

7:57 "Here we go. Oh my gosh! .......I sound like a dork!" You sound a lot better than I did during my first solo. There was a lot of crying and screaming going on. But 40 years later things have changed. Now it's my passengers that are crying and screaming. "Good morning, this is your Captain speaking. BARREL ROLL!!"

[@erinfincher7676]

Wonderful!!!

[@aportman58]

I remember when I first soloed....I was fine until I lifted off the runway looked over to my right and noticed no one was occupying the seat beside me thinking, oh holy crap I have to land this plane by myself! Least to say I landed it okay! Great job Bella!

[@richardwalters1803]

Congrats

[@Sweden2023]

Bravo!

[@bobninemire6859]

Good job....and the camera work (editing) was really good also

[@AeroworksProductions]

Thanks a ton

[@malcolmcasson3571]

great landings.

[@larrybernholz4401]

Good job, Bella !

[@AeroworksProductions]

Thank you!!

[@mescarfullery]

360 cam give you some insane shots, like a gimble

[@user-mo9wr8ym6s]

Great solo Bella

[@sterlingfoley2939]

This brings back a little of memories when I made my first Solo back in 1992 .I'm 66 now still flying the C1502

[@sterlingfoley2939]

That was Memories Cessna 152.

[@balticstain7150]

Well done first solo flight..

[@allureshuttle7261]

good job bella keep it up

[@northgeorgiaflyer9940]

All the time!

[@blainepetsupplies5354]

Can’t wait until my solo soon

[@robsteal3887]

Well done..

[@brianrobertson1211]

Good job, Bella.

[@djar6360]

I noticed Stick and rudder hanger in the background and it seem to have a name on it. I wonder if they are still there. I got my private and upgrades back in 1982. We had a lot of airplanes at the time. CutlessRG $48.00 per hour wet. 172 $42.00 per hour, when flying was affordable.

[@AeroworksProductions]

Yes stick and rudder is still there although we prefer Skill Aviation 😉.

[@brantthornton1319]

Good stuff!!

[@IdahoBookworm]

I am very very jealous!

[@keith2964]

My instructor said the same thing...The airplane will preform better without me in it..😂N6529M 1989 ANE Blaine, MN

[@ADVJason]

So very Cool. Congrats Bella!!! Still hoping to take this first solo one day... I do have a question though. Most videos of people flying the pattern they call each turn. Thinking about it maybe that is just uncontrolled airspace that they do that. I have watched quite a few things, trying to learn, and This was the first time I noticed someone not calling out each turn.... Thanks! And again Congrats Bella!

[@ADVJason]

@@D.c.0 I figured it was different but still only have seen people calling traffic and calling each turn in videos. Probably more habit than anything, maybe. I'm learning and the radio stuff is something that I have always worried about. So when I get to start real training I'm hoping to have some knowledge anyway. Plus flight sims don't do the radio stuff great and for now that is all the flying I am doing. lol..thanks for the reply

[@AeroworksProductions]

Yes correct, typically you call your position when operating at non towered airports. KUGN is class D towered.

[@ADVJason]

@@AeroworksProductions gotcha ...thanks for letting me learn.

[@ftroop211]

Way to go Bella, The video angles were fantastic and radio chatter was good to hear, but the music in first part around the 8:15 to 12:20 minute mark was distracting, had to turn volume down then I missed the chatter, great video

[@AeroworksProductions]

Noted!

[@ManNomad]

Good job!

[@AeroworksProductions]

Thanks!

[@videosallnight]

You would think that whoever set up the camera would notice that the right-side seat belt is blocking the view of the runway. While the seatbelt can be moved, some planes like the Cessna Citation, Piper Cherokee, and DHC-6 Twin Otter have a large central support going down the center of the windshield. Moving this is not as easy.

[@AeroworksProductions]

We were happy to just get the cameras in on her first solo. More videos to come on here channel.

[@gregkarkowsky967]

nice landings

[@kk6aw]

60 years ago for my solo, 172 2425R Chandler Field Fresno Ca.

[@FromSagansStardust]

Any good flight instructor makes sure that they leave some seat belt hanging outside when they get out and shut the door!

[@aishdesai]

❤️

[@shopart1488]

First of all congratulations! You will NEVER forget this day ever. Great video. Only exception would be DC the music and repost, airplanes sound so much better. Remember always stay current with A.Q.P. ( Maneuvering speeds)

[@mikecoffee100]

AWESOME SAUCE

[@jorgeencinas6792]

Whats is the videoVideo gear used in here? I want the same for my plane

[@rogerjeffrey]

Oh her god

[@thebadger7265]

oh my gosh

[@HalalFoodTravelers]

@AeroworksProductions Great video, what kind of Camera equipment did you use on the wing? The video angles and quality is great. Btw congratulations. She did excellent. My daughter wants to be a pilot too when she is of age. I will be showing her this video for motivation. Thank you for posting.

[@AeroworksProductions]

We use a variety of cameras in our videos but the external camera shots in this video were from a GoPro 360 camera mounted on an Nflightcam mount.
