The boy did it!

[@jucava00]

Being close to my solo, finally starting to grease my landings, know how frustrating it gets at times, good job JD 👏👏👏👏

[@Kenriko]

Heart Wrenching.. you were so close to losing your ticket with that boy.

[@psyrixx]

Was that a VITAS lick I heard at 2:27?? lol

[@LewDixAviation]

@@psyrixx Ah hahaaaaa it was

[@hexpulatwork]

I stumbled across your channel and started watching JD's adventure. I had to go back and start from the beginning you two's chemistry in the plane is fun to watch! The "complete" playlist as of today. Awesome work! kzbin.info/aero/PLIEJIwW9TubfjIbhI9uahPT8m_n1d4Rp2

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I remember when Lewis used to look at me with that level of fondness & excitement. Now he just throws stuff at me. Oh, and we’ll done JD! I think it’s safe to say we’re all very proud 😁

[@LewDixAviation]

Maybe if you didn’t disrespectfully pass your checkride you might still be looked at with fondness...

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

@@LewDixAviation HAHA, sorry that's got me 😂

[@magicmedianews6594]

Congratulations

[@andreww3803]

That moment when you're a student and your instructor is filling out your log book before/during a flight, its like that hot girl signing your school yearbook and you know she's leaving her phone number

[@WhutzPoppin]

she signed my t-shirt with her number 😂😂😂😂

Very impressive, JD. Keep on truckin'!! Congratulations!

[@sanderslongdrive]

It puts into perspective how incredible our 'Spitfire' pilots were after basic training - bobbing, weaving and diving at over 600 m.p.h. and ripping apart the hun with machine gun fire. Maybe give them a minute's prayer?

[@kadenbrunner4238]

Notice how JD is actually learning stuff in such a non-serious training environment... 👀👀

[@jdlopez9337]

🤯🤯

[@LewDixAviation]

Wow.. You can have fun in flight training and still be successful? 🤯

[@andreww3803]

@@LewDixAviation Best way. I learned that when it stops being fun its time to bounce. You can get your ass kicked the whole time by your CFI and it be enjoyable

[@av8or971]

@@LewDixAviation don't worry about the haters Lewis, you are a great CFI

[@TheFirePilot]

This is unacceptable. You should not be able to have fun and learn. This is against FAA rules.

That was awesome, congrats man! It’s been a lot of fun watching this journey

[@brackenquinton2955]

Congratulations JD. So cool up there, keep up the flying & the great banter. Very entertaining to watch and also encouraging as I work towards going solo soon too hopefully

[@dellfonda7544]

[@AlexdAviator]

1:10 hey man, good job. but in my school we never put back the drained fuel in the tank as it might contain impurities, the glass is usually not that clean.

[@FromNorway63]

Congratulations JD !!! I know the feeling of the first solo - will never forget it

[@RicSantos]

Congrats to both of you guys. It’s such an amazing day. It’s interesting how we can feeling all the emotions of the solo flight again watching this video. Great job @LewDix and Welcome to the Sky @JD.

[@craigcromer]

Absolutely love the saying "Welcome to the Sky"! Continue to be an advocate that encourages the pursuit of aviation. Really love the videos.

[@phillipruda2445]

I may be late to the party but that was just awesome. Well done JD. Start "this is great banter" clip. Love watching you two, and witnessing JD's journey.

This makes me so excited for my journey! Just started ground school. You seem like such a fun instructor. I hope I get someone with the same energy and enthusiasm!

[@stochasticjihadi1031]

I'm stoked for you. I was legit watching this like "hell yeah!" What a cool fun thing to do. Kudos

[@BamaContractor]

Congratulations JD! Thank you for sharing your moment and reminding those of us who’ve been through the same excitement and accomplishment. You’re so blessed to have Lew as your instructor and I’ve yet to see anyone more passionate about being an instructor. Lew needs to start an instructors school as well. His gift to aviation needs in my opinion is to train the trainers too.
