How many subs did you had when you got your first free business class seat?

[@eac26114653]

I was watching Noel Phillips' channel video on Emirates A350 from Edinburgh to Dubai. He links to your channel.

[@Prince-pt8dz]

I‘m speechless… You‘re such a genuine, nice and caring human being! This is very rare in these days, especially in the world of internet/Social Media. Thank you for being yourself, you‘re a true role model in the space of youtube. Keep up the great work and don‘t forget: take very good care of yourself :-)

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏 This is such a lovely comment!

[@deloresthomas5624]

Dan as a former educator this is such an inspiring story for young people. Congratulations and thank you.

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much Delores 🙏

How many subs did you have when you got your first business class flight for free?

[@keithallison3756]

Congrats Dan. Your passion for aviation is truly evident in your content. I found your channel about 6 months ago _ look forward to every drop. I can't wait to see you get to 1 mill.!!

[@NonstopDan]

Welcome aboard Keith! Thank you so much 🙏

[@dianeschroeder3980]

Wow Dan I can’t believe it’s been 15 years already of your KZbin channel. I go way back to the DanTorp days. In fact, yours was one of the very first channels I watched on KZbin because we share the same love of aviation. I was wondering when you were going to tell your story and I think it’s very fitting for your 15th year. I think the idea of giving back is a testament to the beautiful person you are and despite not being together, your parents did a great job of bringing you up. The world truly needs more people like you. Cheers to the next 15 years ❤✈️🥂

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much Diane! 🙏 I love hearing from my long-time viewers!

[@CJ-xl3dh]

17:01 That's an awesome gesture Dan. Hopefully people will not abuse your offer. The goodness of fellow beings is rare💎, but joyous when it presents itself 👍🙂.

[@davidperry3257]

My hat is off to you sir! It’s so rare to see an entertaining KZbin content creator with a social conscience. Bravo!

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much David 🙏

[@LetsJamFunk]

I still remember watching your landing videos as "Dantorp11" with the enthusiastic titles like "Awesome Engine Sound!" and wondering "who is this guy with such enthusiasm?" and the first time I watched one of your reviews and thinking "no way it's the same guy" and "hey I finally know the person behind the camera now!" ... and feeling the enthusiasm for real

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@BenTheMan-ls1tf]

Love it❤❤❤! Keep up the amazing work Dan! You’re one of the only KZbinrs that keeps up this great work! Celebrate this moment and the success you have had!❤

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

We love you Dan keep doing what you do 🥂

[@s.p.1536]

Hi Dan, I am one of your fans, enjoying life vicariously through your highly entertaining videos. This video was so blissful; I hung on to every word. Your natural gift of story telling is unique! Your honesty, wonderful enthusiasm , skillful narration of unfoldment of events makes one rejoice in your life and progressive success. Your evolution to giving and helping is very touching. Sending with love to you and Oscar

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@framedman]

No no no no, thank you. Absolutely loved that you made this. Have been a dedicated sub for a number of years now, probably a bit before covid but I first watched a video of yours probably around the time of your first review. It's been an incredible journey and I love the giveaway idea. Really hope someone who deserves it gets it. And I'd love to see the stories of all these people whose life you could be changing. KIU, fella. Here's to the next 15!!

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏

[@donnamanitu8673]

Thank you so much for walking us down and showing us your history. I have always wondered how you got started and now I see that you have always been interested in transportation.

[@martingodske3301]

This sounds so much like my childhood. I remember playing FSX every single day when I was a kid. I have saved so many videos from back then, just to remember my good times from my childhood. My dream was always to be a pilot, and that dream has come true now. So a big thanks to FSX for helping finding my dream job

[@JelHime]

Dan!! I’ve been waiting for this story and what an inspiring gem! Congratulations on your success! I’m excited to share your video with my class. 🥹🫶🏾 Thank you for all of the content you’ve created over the years. I hope you continue dreaming and spreading your passion, knowledge, compassion, and integrity through your travels and the flight fund project!

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏 Your words are so kind!

[@commishg]

Congratulations on an amazing 15-year journey, and best wishes as you continue this exciting journey. Yours in an inspiring story of following your dream and having the patience, tenacity, and perseverance to accomplish it. From here, the sky is the limit.

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@sudyke]

I love your story! So authentic. I've been following you since the pandemic and while I love your reviews and they are genuinely interesting, I also love to take a nap to your videos. 😅 Your voice is so calming, and it helps me switch off my mind so I can fall asleep. Thank you for all the entertainment and the naps! 🙏🙏🙏

[@NonstopDan]

Hahaha thanks so much 🙏 glad I can help at nap time!

[@melw3518]

Baby Dan! Love the throwback photos. I prevously won a competition through your podcast and I still love my Bvlgari toiletries bag which has been repurposed into my tech bag for work and I get questions on it all the time and tell everyone how excited I was to win it and hear my name on your podcast. You truely are a lovely and giving, genuine person helping those in need.

[@merthanfor]

Good on you Dan, very honorable and hopefully you can help few people! Big fan here, keep up your good work. Happy 15th!!!

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@Fin_the_guy_from_somewhere]

Keep up everything you’ve been doing! Your passion for planes, aviation and Finnair! I’ve Been here since 2018 and have not left! ❤️🥳

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@anttirytkonen11]

As an 80s' child, I discovered your channel back in the day because I love FSX and I wanted to have a realistic experience, so after each landing, I played myself the welcome addressees "welcome this and that city" mainly from your videos. The flightsim was my getaway from the struggles I had with my Spanish studies at the uni. My aim was ultimately to become a pilot abroad, but you have demonstrated on KZbin over the years that there are other ways to find happiness within aviation and beyond. Grattis och tusen tack från Finland! 🤗

[@Ladybassguitarplayer]

That is such a wonderful video!! I have been watching you for so many years and now I know your KZbin story. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

[@sabbys7750]

Omg... You watch this channel too??? 😍😍😍

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@benoitquenneville7756]

What a wonderful and generous initiative! Thank you Dan, also, for sharing this very personal (and fascinating) story. You’re a great storyteller! 👍

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@ocaviation1769]

Congrats Dan I have been following your videos since 2019

[@gregizzo8349]

I LOVE THIS!!! I’m living the life of an AV geek! From a young child I’ve been aviation obsessed. Plane spotting, air shows and playing the simulators to this day! I got my PPL at 16yrs, and finished with my commercial! I’m a “hobby” pilot, but have just under 2K hours of multi-IFR, turbine. We share the passion. Although I am in a different career, I LOVE your videos and never have missed on. Your story is inspiring to both the young and old (I am😅). Keep that passion alive and your goals right in front of you, you’ll get there! 💪

[@NonstopDan]

That's amazing! Hopefully I see you in the skies one day!

[@adelguy67]

Massive Congrats on 15 years!! Next year you will get to 1M subs!!!

[@patrickmig]

Congratulations on your 15 years anniversary, Dan. While I'm only a relatively recent follower, I've thoroughly enjoyed every one of your videos that I've watched and I look forward to many more to come. Your positive outlook and joy for life is truly wonderful and you're such a positive role model for young people too. As a bit of a loner myself when I was young (many moons ago! ☺), I hope that your videos inspire lots of young people to believe in themselves and follow their dreams.

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that! 🙏

[@tommarchant950]

Wow. I appreciate you sharing this video with us. We have similar stories about growing up in multiple places. As far as your feeling of looking up at the sky and wondering where planes are going; you knocked it right on the nose. I started my channel not too long ago and I have no intentions of making a career out of it. The purpose is to share something that I enjoy doing and currently being in the Central US, it's the perfect place to film. We have a very diverse amount of air traffic. Again, thank you for sharing your story.

[@Flywith_Nate]

Also Congrats on Reaching 920K keep up the good work hope you get 1 mil subs soon

[@martinvareed8756]

That is wonderful to hear Dan , and also what a beauuutiful gesture ..nothing more blessed than to help someone in need without they mentioning it......super...best wishes in what u are doing....God bless

[@ryw4738]

Thank you for being so kind and sharing your success! Love your content, you are amazing!!

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

Love your videos with great editing skills.

[@mskarataylor]

This was such a sweet video - I love the idea of the fund - good on you for giving back!

[@LtNduati]

Congrats on 15 Years Dan! And I love your "Flight fund" I think it's a really classy move, and I wish more travel vloggers started doing something similar. Also I never realized that we are almost the same age, always thought you were a little older than me - but I think I subscribed towards the end of the Dantorp days, but I've watched basically every video ever since and I am so glad that you keep making great content across all of your channels :)

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much for all your support! 🙏

[@ocaviation1769]

Hi there I have been following your videos since 2019 . Congrats on 15 years .

[@thefullsp77]

I can vouch for the fact that you are indeed the first aviation KZbinr to introduce a more personable/relatable aspect in their presentation by introducing 'you' as a person, upfront and center. If memory serves, 'DanTorp Aviation' was the handle back then ... I could be wrong - it's been many a year since and I have a few years on you (not many!) but, aviation courses through these veins of mine. It's always a pleasure to see someone succeed through passion and determination, add to that knowledge and knowhow ... a winning formulae - 1 million subscribers by years' out for sure. Many thanks for brightening up many a dull day and keep doing what you're doing 👍

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏

[@infinitelimitlesslightx5437]

That's really cool of you Dan ❤

Well done Dan. A very well-deserved career.

[@kvom01]

Your channel is very valuable to me in looking at new to me airlines. Thanks.

[@NonstopDan]

So glad I can help!

[@NancyLiedel]

I almost skipped the video cause I'm not used to the mustache! It's great. You remind me if my son and that makes me smile.

[@dodaz2049]

OMG Dannnn I've been following you since 2016, and honestly we have so much in common ! Our stories are so similar, and we share the same exact passion for aviation. I was never in a small town like you, but sometimes I did somewhat fell "trapped"... but I'm blessed tho, I have to admit. Anyway, congrats on your progress.

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@WorldsGreatestAdventures]

Hi Dan. I have been creating online videos since before the KZbin days. I started doing KZbin full time about a decade ago. I have 10-20 active youtube channels, and this one is my hobby travel channel. Creating entertaining videos is definitely a passion of mine. Keep up the good work. Your videos are inspirational.

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much!

[@rnyellow]

This is so honest and therefore interesting, thanks for it.

[@jayshko]

Great look back, thanks Dan!

[@abdul-wadoodahmed3121]

It’s truly amazing how you got this far, and how you’re willing to help others with this new program! My grandma really needs to come to the US for kidney surgery and while my family is fortunate enough to be able to afford it, I’m sure many other families are not as fortunate, and this is a great opportunity for them. I’m a teenager with a passion for aviation who inspires to do what you do, but I unfortunately don’t currently have the time or technical skills to do so…maybe one day in the future :D

[@Mazhypic]

3:28 Funny that you say that because that's literally me as I'm writing this. I'm sitting alone, in the dark in my room (in Sweden btw), almost never hanging out with friends, because I'm an introvert, and playing msfs 2024. But instead of Rix FM I have YT😅

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉. I love your videos!!! What a fabulous idea for your giveaway!!!

[@NonstopDan]

Best of luck!

[@lewiegun]

Very cool, and I love what you're doing with the flight fund. Have you looked into what it might take to get status as a not-for-profit like Make-a-Wish where you can partner with the airlines to have people donate additional miles they may have to help further fund the flight fund?

[@richardmccarthy9580]

Interesting to note connection to Clapham Jcn…..where I was in the 80s……in the 90s/00s had very good fortune to travel frequently in Europe plus some trips to Asia and USA plus 7 times round the world…..then shortly before the start of your journey marriage, parenthood and mortgage kicked in ! (As well as a fear of flying…..my last flight was Manchester to Manchester as part of a course !)….since when i’ve enjoyed others take forward the torch….on-air (!)

[@Gw3113]

Bravo Dan I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos for good 8 years keep it up

Love watching all your aviation videos and vlogs! Do you write a script for the voiceover?

[@kofender]

I took my first flight in 1957 and was immediately hooked. I took my last flight seven years ago and have been permanently grounded-not by choice but by medical issues. I was taking two different medications manufactured in China, and BOTH turned out to be poisonous! I was lucky though. The only problem I had was I developed adult-onset Tourette Syndrome (other people developed liver cancer or kidney failure-far worse). When a flight takes off, the change in cabin pressure sets off the Tourette. I can't stop twitching and worse. It's awful, but that pretty much grounded me forever (I've seen plenty of doctors but there is no hope). Ergo, I live vicariously through you and Oskar. I did move from California to New York City, and I'm right in the LaGuardia flight path, so I do a lot plane spotting. Getting on a plane and going anywhere? Can never happen again. But I see all you KZbin videos and I love seeing you two guys together (as a gay man, that also warms my heart). So, thanks for your channel. I can't go anywhere or do anything, but I appreciate it. And next time you're in New York City, drop me an email or call. Thanks.

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@lmgb77]

Thank you for sharing your story, loved hear it

[@privers3417]

Hi Dan. I enjoy your channel immensely! I watched the present video carefully. I heard Oscar’s name one time. My question is where did you meet Oscar if you do not mind me asking? Cheers!

[@jimhearsonwriter]

Congrats on the 15 years and good on ya for setting up the fund! Also, loving the shout out for Clapham Junction, my local station 😎

[@NonstopDan]

[@jimhearsonwriter]

@@NonstopDan I can see a certain US airline using that as a review 😉

[@QuickBurn70]

I first saw your channel with the Dantorp spotting videos with the earthquake graphics hahaha... Pretty sure it was out of EWR, but don't remember if it was UA or Con. Definitely seen this place go through a lot of changes and to see it edge ever closer to 1M subs is just astounding. Keep it up!

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@well-blazeredman6187]

What a very generous offer, Dan. You're a good person.

OMG Glen! You nailed the name!

[@17puttab]

Congratulations Dan!

[@rebel.taylord]

I relate to this so much. I also felt trapped, plus never felt like I fit in with traditional asian values. But me being lazy plus with (at the time undiagnosed) ADHD and authoritative, unsupportive, traditional parents making it worse, I did nothing about it. I force myself to fit into the traditional role but that didn't really work and sunk into deep depression. Now in my 40s I still look at flight radar at planes everyday wondering what life could have been if I just had the courage to leave. Very happy for you and big congratulations to all your success! 🥳
