CONGRATULATIONS CAPTAIN MIKE 🤝✈ U R A GOOD PILOT @ I SALUTE U!🛩🤝👍🏽👏👏👏😍🇵🇭

[@xitbfb]

Congratulations Mike :-) well done… I’m a retired FilAm US Army aviator and holds an FAA commercial license in Helicopter and instrument rating. You definitely inspired me to get back to flying again… My last memorable flight was before retiring from active duty at Wiesbaden Army Airfield in Germany. I will be visiting the Philippines soon and I’m looking forward and excited to getting back to flying… can’t wait to be back at the controls again :-) I’m originally from San Felipe, Zambales just a few miles away from Subic!

[@towardsnewbeginnings]

"I'll say a little prayer for you, brother." That was a huge statement. God is awesome and He guided you, your instructors and everyone around you. God bless all of you. 🙏👏

[@MakingithappenVlog]

thank you! such a relief :)

[@Ver0_Cat]

Omg I was excited and nervous as hell watching Mike fly the plane! My dad is a retired pilot of the Airforce of the Philippines, Philippine Airlines instructor pilot, and commercial helicopter pilot in PH and abroad. It was a risky career, but he was so fulfilled and still talks about flying to this day. I'm sharing this video with him. Hopefully this will bring back so many sweet memories of his colorful career. He always told us he was just playing, not working! What a compliment you got: "Ganda ng landing niya" (he made a beautiful landing). Job well done, Mike. You earned your wings! Pop some champagne! Congratulations!

[@abegail27]

Mike is such an inspiration to me! I've always wanted to learn to fly but was second guessing because I'm in my late 20's and thought it might be late to start learning. I'm not trying to make a career out of it, it's just always been a dream of mine. Seeing Mike achieving what I've always wanted to achieve pushes me to do the same! So thanks for that!

[@pd9750]

It's not too late go for it. You have all the opportunity.

[@TG-gk6fv]

There's no age when it comes to learning. Go for it do it you're young.

[@alreyes1877]

Go for the sky brother, there is no limit.

[@monettealcantara3232]

Just like in lovjing, there ‘s No age limit to learning, education is limitless and universal.

[@maykrassabokalista]

[@virginiaobra9869]

Your solo flight was a success!It pays off all the hard work really Philippines has a lot to offer 😊👍👏👏👏 Congratulations Capt. Mike for a job well done. Always stay safe in your succeding flights with Nelly. God bless you both.

[@michaelernieliquigan4340]

You've been grow a lot in our beloved country Philippines. Continue inspiring the filipino people.

[@jovitagibson5567]

Congratulations Mike! His bring back memories when my Ex husband told me of his first & last flight when he took his pilot course here in Nanaimo, B.C., Canada. His test flight was from Comox, a military airport then in the 70's. Too bad he never pursued it. Our Nanaimo airport then was so small. No air traffic control tower. It was only his dad that was the Radio Operator @ the airport. He said, there was snow & bit of ice on the landing ground, but he said, he made it. He got his certificate, but really never pursued to become a pilot. I guess, some people are not made to be one. Hope you will continue your desire & dream to be a good one Mike, & maybe someday you will fly a commercial one. Do not let your fear kill your dream! Hats off to you Sir!

[@raffycolistv2731]

Congratulations Mike ! It paid it all. The training,the dedication the support of Nelly and above all the prayers by the pilot instructor to you.Congratulations Captain Mike God bless Thanks for sharing your flight to us.

[@bbmpalace9648]

[@acechannelinternational8120]

Congrats captain Mike! I've watched student pilots from the middle East before in Lingayen, Pangasinan practicing to take off and land. I've learned that one of the pilots during the 9/11 terrorism in the US was trained in Lingayen.

[@era-FP]

The short prayer offered by the instructor was such a blessing

[@loalipe9]

CONGRATULATIONS! You sounded super confident. I loved it that your instructor prayed over you before your solo flight.

[@perrytorres8375]

Congratulations Mike! And to Nelly, that was really nice to see the full support you gave to Mike to fulfill one of his dreams. Next on the list is... The most important day... Planning your wedding! :) you two will be really great for each other.
