Beyond the Horizon: Dad's Last Flight

[@zachlang1982]

Dude this deserves a million views. The camerawork, editing, music, narration, and especially the story itself is all just spectacular. Mad congrats to your Dad bro. He seems like an amazing dude in every aspect, and you seem like an awesome son to him. Also, the E175 is a sweet ride!!

[@Mad.Chemist]

Totally agree 👍🏻

[@jayhaapala6026]

When he started reading the letter a student wrote, I teared up. "People in this world who matter most are those who chose to care and make a difference... without people like you, people like me can't realize their dream." Being a pilot (and in aviation/airlines in general) is being in a community that you just can't replicate. Aviation is like love story that even some of the best filmmakers in the world can't capture the spirit of. You did so in just a 10 minute video. Best wishes to your dad in retirement. Thank you for a fantastic video.

Congratulations Steve! You were one of my first Captains 17 years ago! I will always think of flying with you so fondly! Enjoy your retirement!!

[@01stevemb]

Hi Erika. What are you doing now, in addition to being a mom?

[@01stevemb]

Hi Erika. Glad to hear from you. Take care.

[@peppermintaviation]

@@01stevemb Hi Steve, Congrats on an amazing flight and journey. Do you do any mentoring? I'm looking to join QX very very soon.

[@SamWebber-tz9bt]

I am legitimately in tears

[@zachboyd4749]

From one pilot to another, May Blue Skies and Fair Winds be Under Your Wings!

[@synczozo11]

Tremendous respect for Captain Brown. It is people like him who inspire me.

[@artheriford]

Congratulations, Captain Steve. I have many friends that have spent their entire careers at a regional and it's no less or an accomplishment than if you had retired from United or another major. Clearly you made an impact on many airmen during your time there and you should be proud of what you have done. Enjoy your retirement.

[@206BigD]

Tearing up when the flight ended! Congrats to Steve for an incredible career and wishing him all the happiness in his next steps. The video quality was perfection, views from the cockpit and 30,000 ft. up are breathtaking. Your filmography is so talented! Keep it up Ty!

[@dcartier100]

Congratulations Captain. You will ALWAYS be a Captain. I am with ABXAir 767 Captain 31 years and will retire march of 2022. "Blue Skies" !!!

[@toddanderson8277]

Captain Steve Brown was a great guy to work with and he truly has QX ❤️! Blue sky and tail winds.

[@spadgm]

65 years young! What a great career!

[@christineweisner7785]

When you LOVE what you do, you NEVER work a day in your life.

[@Dutchbird757]

As a fellow Captain, Retirement would be my worst nightmare. Well put together this and a great lasting memory. Enjoy your Retirement Captain.

[@markbergthold6181]

Congratulations on your retirement, Captain Brown - enjoy the next chapter!

[@pamelaevans6485]

Handsome man. As a former flight attendant, now a nurse, I still miss those days flying. I can only imagine the bittersweet thoughts going through his mind; wish him luck with a new career and making time for himself.

[@alexmook6786]

Pamela....I have so much respect for flight attendants. I am so sorry for the awful behavior that people in your position have to go through with unruly passengers, especially in the last couple of years.

[@hillarytinsley9115]

Congratulations Captain Steve Brown! Definitely one of my favorites! I'm happy to say that I am one of the lucky ones who has known him for the full 33 years at Horizon!! First class all the way! So many years of memories!!! Enjoy your retirement!!!!! :)

[@01stevemb]

Thank you Hillary.

[@lreid2495]

I really fkn loved that. Good on you, for honouring a worthy father, and that said, I hope he has found the next best.

[@kevinmarzouca9879]

So touching. Always love and cherish your parents no matter what they do.

[@thatdavidsonguy]

Absolutely stunning storytelling. I did indeed shed a few tears. Hope your time since this video was published, has been fulfilling.

[@samdellefave2800]

Such a sweet sweet film, Tyler. I loved every second. This was so well done. I wish your family years of joy as you go forward. What a joy to watch. Thanks for taking us all on this final leg.

[@sarahdrexler4812]

What a great tribute, Best wishes to your dad

[@lisalister8002]

Very nice cinematography - enjoy your next adventure!

[@boxterjeff]

Awesome career. Your son sure is proud of you. I retired 2 years ago. God speed.

[@jimmygadd]

those two pilots was a good crew, can't think dad is one day over 50, looks like he is a easy guy to have around with the smile all the time! He will keep flying

[@colingreen1208]

This honestly made me cry. I know this time will come for me some day too but I really couldn’t imagine a life without flying. It’s second to none.

[@speedhornetsdiamonds8920]

Since this retirement video was dated 2 yes ago. I sincerely hope that the retired pilot and his family are immensely blessed and accomplishing all that they've ever wanted to. Happy New year's 2023.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Saw the oil cleanup crew following the bird. You greased your last landing....congrats captain. Found myself in a similar situation. Retired 4 years ago and have been busier than ever. Change gears but not your transmission. You got this.

Very nice job and congrats to dad. I used to fly a lot and when I see pics an old HS friend who has been a pilot posts of his "office", I have to say it has a great view.

As a PNW native the very first flight I ever was on Horizon and it will always be where my love and appreciation of aviation started.

Final landing must've been heart-wrenching for your dad! A sweet card from the student, and nicely documented. Best wishes to the Captain. The best office in the world :)
