I'm Quitting Aviation...

The past 5 years have been amazing and I'm so thankful for all of you following my aviation journey. After much thought I've made the decision to leave the industry and shift my focus to my real estate business in order to keep soaring to my full potential. I love aviation dearly but I must make this change in life to keep leveling up and in order to get to my ultimate goal of owning a fleet of jets one day. I look forward to your continued support in my new endeavors.
Let's make dreams a reality!

Feeling stagnant at the level of a G650 pilot was probably because you jumped up to that level so fast at such a young age when most will work years & years towards that goal as a professional pilot. I imagine getting that kind of job at just 21 would make one feel like they've completed corporate aviation

[@Kalashniky]

His schedule was 45 days on in Egypt, fly for QOL 1st, pay and aircraft type secondary!

[@SkyLifeFlyer]

It kinda hurts when I hear that kind of stuff as an aviation lover and pilot, but I'm glad you are in control. Cheers!

[@Asa55100]

Super proud of your decision, man.....you’ve been a huge inspiration to myself and I’m finally flying part 135 and absolutely loving it. But I see where you’re coming from and I’m so proud of the steps you’re taking to achieve your goals! Best of luck, Ryan!

[@thelastairvendor8254]

I’m only about to embark on the path of aviation. It will be a long journey, but your channel has inspired me to go it’s full length. Happy for you, and wish you the best of luck!

[@LukePylypciw]

Best of luck Ryan. Hopefully one day I can be YOUR pilot!

[@whitelight1720]

Congrats man, I’m actually doing the exact opposite. I bought and sold properties and rentals and made great money but ultimately decided I wanted to follow a dream I always had to be a commercial pilot so I sold one of my rentals to pay for school. Still have some other properties though so if it doesn’t work out I don’t have to start all over lol. I know a lot of the big fish in the OKC market so reach out if you want some solid contacts.

[@dalat5986]

Same here I'm doing flight training with background in aviation and love realestate as the same time.

[@zoicaras2992]

That's really great for you, we're all glad you're doing what you think is best. Been here for a couple years, followed mainly for the aviation content but I find myself sticking around for you anyway. You have a lot of valuable advice and things in general that I appreciate. I love that you are fully honest about chasing your dream of becoming a wealthy investor. All power to you my man.

[@abbieamavi]

I have similar goals as you, so was kinda sad to see you make this decision because I love aviation and am in commercial training right now. But it's cool that you made it out of choice (not covid forcing you lmao). And once a pilot, always a pilot because you can always fly for fun, if not compensation later in life. :)

[@hamzaibrahim2159]

Good luck man, I have been following you for a long time and am really proud of your progress. You really hit the jackpot in a short amount of time which really reflects to your hardwork and dedication. Cheers mate!

[@wohalicasimier7763]

Thank you for sharing Ryan. This helps me in considering Aviation

[@ibiro868]

I’m reminded of Jonny Kim who was a Navy Seal, Astronaut, and Medical Doctor. He could have settled for any one of those careers and be considered successful. But he wanted more out of life and wasn’t afraid to write the next chapter in his life. At least you had the balls to walk away on your own terms. A lot of disgruntled pilots who lost their passion for aviation aren’t as courageous.

[@annajones9701]

[@williambryan5188]

Did you just compare this guy to Jonny Kim???? Wow. Ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself.

[@therealrobinc]

Jonny Kim is an asshat who took away a med school place from another deserving student, but did not practised medicine to benefit the community. He's a damn glory hound who only all about himself, collecting credentials towards being an astronaut, an occupations that spends way more tax dollars than generating any good.

[@itsjonny8222]

Hey you did it.. and Im right behind your footstep's. You been such a BIG Inspiration for me you have no idea. I wish you the best in your journey and you should post about your real-estate from time to time, I would be really interested, and when you own your G6 I could be flying you to Aspen! 😂😜And you should definitely get into GA!!

[@RealRickCox]

I admire your tenacity! My mentor would have told me to do the same thing. I've always loved aviation, but I'm an entrepreneur FIRST. Everything else comes second. Wish you the best of luck!

[@ddLoading]

🔥🔥 hate to see you leave, but excited for the next chapter. All true and key points. Happiest over everything 💪🏾

[@TopAliGi]

Same thing here man, been a flight instructor since 18, got my ATP at 23 and flown regionals, now at 27 and having had airlines playing so much with us during COVID I left aviation (despite hundreds of thousands spent on flight training, bachelor and master in aeronautics and so on), and opened a privacy trees company that honestly gives me probably 10 times what I was making. Life as a pilot is hard, a lot of drama, you live to work and unfortunately this job was not worth it. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BUSINESS MAN!

[@Prizelife]

Great videos man , You were Mía for quite sometime.... Videos are 100% unfiltered and real that’s why I stay tuned in.... wish you well on future endeavors .... wholesaling must bring in some good money$$$ if your leaving Avaition. Your girlfriend must luv those private jet flight for dinner I’m sure!! Because of you I got my 1st property under contract in Macon, GA and trying to find a buyer now... Keep going!! 💯

[@MrAviator99th]

Ryan, I’ve followed your channel for years and learned a lot going into the aviation industry. I, too, feel the same way, especially the last year or so. It’s great to be in “front” of the plane but nothing like being in the “back”, as an owner to some capacity. I look forward to keeping up with your progress of success! We share the same 4-lane highway in the right direction to achieving our full potential. Wishing you the very best in all of your health/wealth/happiness endeavors!!! Blue $kies$!!!

[@dukeskylar]

Wow ryan that was a shocker. I could still remember the early days of you vlogging ATP flight school. Good luck in your future endeavors. Key is to dont stop believing and persistence. Its better to do it now than wait. Or youll regret it the rest of your life. Good luck again brother.

[@captainorry5895]

A friendly advice. Keep your CFI, or reinstate it. Best way to keep one foot inside aviation, for recreational purposes. I promise, 10 or 20 years from now, you’ll thank me. I let it go for 20 years...😄

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

How do you instruct privately though, how do you find people

[@captainorry5895]

@@Hedgeflexlfz Well first, keeping the CFI serves several puposes. It is a good way to stay current. It is keeps a window open for a comeback. Most CFIs value this certificate, if not only for the hard work it took to get it. It could be a nice hobby, and a supplementary source of income. It’s easy to keep, an easy online eFIRC course every two years. There are a lot of students looking for independent instructors, instead of instructors at a pilot mill. They often find better instruction this way.

[@captainorry5895]

Btw, my son will be looking for a CFII in Phoenix this fall.

[@Hedgeflexlfz]

@@zakups7777 IDK the fun of flying sort of went away, it became more of a chore than anything else. It also seems like a depressing and annoying lifestyle living out of hotels and being in a confined cockpit for hours and hours at a time just sitting down. Additionally, pilot jobs pay very little for the first 10 years of your career.

I respect your motivation and your decision… Good Luck & God Bless

[@0321Sjoerd]

Best of luck! One word of advice: owning a business can also be very timeconsuming... Manage your time carefully! In my job I’ve seen lots of entrepreneurs that are fully consumed by their business and work like eighty hours a week. I saw plenty of broken relations in that department as well... So again: manage your time, because family and good relations with your partner and children is worth more than anything else...

I'm debating between flying commercially and going back to law school myself. why did u feel law was more ideal than aviation? the legal field also is seen as a terrible field to try and get into unless you have a top LSAT score, to get into a top school, and have top grades to be at the top of your class. so many attorneys are making shit, starting at 40k and poor their entire lives. ofc there are attorneys on the complete opposite end of the spectrum who are millionaires/billiionares tho.
