Pilot's wife is his first passenger | Microlight flight from Barton | ATC Audio

[@petrd.3299]

It is nice to see good mood on board, captain :-) I like it too. Flying and smiling is so nice. And also my congrats to your editing skills - and no disturbing music added.

[@RoryOnAir]

Petr D. Yes, flying with people who enjoy it is very rewarding. Thanks for watching - I'm delighted you like the videos.

[@davidallen9526]

A good video sir. I enjoyed it. The wife is so cute the way she is helping out. Well she is just cute I guess. Always nice to take a girl out for her first flight.

[@kevinchilton]

Enjoyed this nearly as much as Lizi! Great to view your vids as I wait for my Sky Ranger Swift to be permitted, weighed and delivered to my local strip. Keep up the good work! Kev

[@RoryOnAir]

kevinchilton ah great stuff Kevin! I hope you get all your paperwork sorted and up in the air soon. Thanks for watching - I appreciate the support. 👍

[@GCEGZ]

Another great vid...I agree with your thoughts on the wake turbulence too. "Every go-around is a potential landing"

[@RoryOnAir]

Cheers John, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@brucefox6580]

Well done, great effort :) Thanks for taking us along!

[@RoryOnAir]

Bruce Fox thanks Bruce. Great to have you onboard.

[@CR4ZYHOR5E]

Your wife is super chilled. My wife freaked out the first (and only) time I’ve taken her flying. Very good, nice one guys, you have a new sub.

[@RoryOnAir]

CR4ZYHOR5E thanks very much for subscribing - great to have you onboard! I’m lucky Lizi enjoys it and isn’t freaked out. Check out our trip to Fife - she was very chilled and helped me when it got a little stressful. Happy Christmas too!

[@CR4ZYHOR5E]

Will check it out...Ta, Merry Christmas to you too...

[@commentatron]

Funny. Mine too! Pulled back on the stick and wouldn't let go. RIP me.

[@Planehazza]

Lizi is so like my partner. You explain the QFE to her, and with zero hesitation, or even any indication she's listened, she changes the subject to houses. Women! :D

[@RoryOnAir]

Harry Marshall ha ha - yeah she does make me laugh. We love them though eh. I’m glad she likes flying with me.

[@Planehazza]

@@RoryOnAir yup you've got a good'n. I hope to go for my NPPL or LAPL in the near future. Any tips or advice? Anything you'd have done different now that you can look back since passing?

[@RoryOnAir]

Harry Marshall oh nice one. Fire me a message on my Rory On Air Facebook page Harry and we’ll have a chat that there. 👍

[@Robbo1966]

QFE, oh dear, I bet he dreads this one everytime. Hope you're still married boring fart - joking. Lockdown loonesy

[@garydell2023]

OK, I went through your video's. I like your presentation, editing, coverage, and explanations as you go. Enlightening. Appreciate your work in putting these video's out for us to follow and enjoy. I learned about you from The Flying Reporter. I cheeked out the plane's you fly. I fly a 1980 Cessna 182 RG. Just had the annual done . red & white. OK, my friend, fly safe

[@RoryOnAir]

Gary Dell ah good stuff - thanks for taking a look Gary and I’m glad you enjoyed what you saw.

[@Bodrochowski]

Love your videos, really nicely done. Gonna watch all of them as I'm planning on doing my NPPL at Barton too, so hopefully see you there one day. Great to see you've gone as far as Fife as long distance is something I'm really keen to do!

[@RoryOnAir]

Jonny Starr hi Jonny, thanks very much for watching and messaging. I’m delighted you enjoy the videos and I’m really pleased you’re going to learn at Mainair. It’s a superb school with great instructors and aircraft - you’ll love it! Give me a shout when you see me up there and we’ll have a chat. Cheers, Rory.

[@paulshawp]

Hi was in Todmorden today

[@RoryOnAir]

Nice

[@cjm2005]

Excellent vid. Reminded me of the first time I took my Girlfriend up in a C42 - although your wife was altogether a lot less nervous, I'll never forget the grin I saw when I looked right, 5 minutes after takeoff :)

[@RoryOnAir]

cjm2005 yeah it's a brilliant feeling being able to share it with others isn't it!? Lizi was very cool about it all and is keen to fly with me when she can. Thanks for watching.

[@cjm2005]

Have you taken her up on a non-thermic day? I've been lucky to have calm air each time I took my GF flying - your wife took the turbulence like a pro.

[@RoryOnAir]

cjm2005 no, we think it's been a bit turbulent every time she's been up with me. Maybe this spring we'll manage a smooth day.

[@chriskeenan1]

He brought a sick bag! Brilliant 😂

[@RoryOnAir]

I always carry one, just incase!

[@alancordwell9759]

Really enjoyed the video, thank you!

[@RoryOnAir]

Alan Cordwell thanks Alan, glad you like it. I hope you'll subscribe for future videos.

[@alancordwell9759]

Rory On Air I have! :)

[@TheDustbinofHistory]

Nice passenger orientation and flight!

[@RoryOnAir]

Eustacius thanks very much. I love taking my wife flying.

[@garydell2023]

I just came across all your videos so I have some free time and I am going to view them.

[@RoryOnAir]

Gary Dell ah good stuff Gary. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think anyway. 👍

[@Eructation1]

Good fun

[@garychadbond1182]

Nice footage my wife is learning with Main air But in the Ikarus can't wait for my first flight

[@RoryOnAir]

Gary Chadbond that's really cool Gary. I'm going to do my conversion training in the next few weeks so I can fly both by Christmas. It'll be great when she can take you up! Thanks for watching.

[@Andy182w]

Flying over Rawtenstall! No one should have to endure that :). Another great video. Loving your content and your passion for both flying and film making. All then best.

[@RoryOnAir]

Andy182w 😂😂 thanks Andy. Continuous improvement on the flying and the films - that’s my aim.

[@mountainsonthemind5795]

Oh im not far from there i would love to have lessons

[@TheVirtualAirlinePilot]

Very nice video, which unfortunately was spoilt by at least 7 advert interruptions, courtesy of KZbin! I'm a little concerned at this "land or depart at your discretion" business. Does Barton not have a Tower? Who are you talking to? Personally, I could never see myself taking such an instruction. It's eaither clear to land or clear takeoff or not at all! That's like the American "see and avoid" system. Seems a lot has changed in the UK since I did flying lessons. Anyway, great video. Lizzy has a real classic sense of humour which made me smile while I recover from side effects of my second Covid jab. It's been a crap 48 hours for me! Take care - Lee

[@RoryOnAir]

Thanks for watching and welcome! Barton does have a tower but its an information service so they control you on the ground but not in the air. That's why they give you information and tell you to decide if you're going to land or not based on the info they give.

[@TheVirtualAirlinePilot]

@@RoryOnAir Hi. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I had no idea about this! But thanks very much for the information. Regards - Lee

[@bluefunkybassman]

Great video!

[@RoryOnAir]

Many thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Th3Butcher76]

Rory explains qfe Lizzie points out nice houses 😂

Ha ha - in a nutshell, yeah!

[@Th3Butcher76]

@@RoryOnAir love all your videos Rory I even watch old ones while waiting for new uploads Keep up the great work 👍

[@RoryOnAir]

@@Th3Butcher76 well that’s terrific Simon, thank you!

[@flyingmoodys9054]

Awesome and reminds me of when my wife and I are flying but we have more swear words!

[@RoryOnAir]

FlyingMoodys ha ha - Lizi was on best behaviour for her first few trips. Great fun.

[@garydell2023]

Will do

[@GreenFillwood]

Great video. Very confident and competent. You must have flown pretty frequently up to recording this? I only say that as I was a nervous wreck when I was low time.

[@RoryOnAir]

GreenFillwood thanks very much. Yeah I had been flying about once a week with an instructor for most of my training and this was my second flight after getting my licence so it was all pretty fresh in my head. There were some nerves but I'm glad I come across as competent!

[@richardtaylor2242]

Beauty...

[@leeryan1969]

Nice flight, nice wife, nice life! I passed my PPL(H) in a Jet Ranger in 1996 - you should try helicopters Rory, so much more fun!

[@RoryOnAir]

Lee Ryan I’m very lucky - she is awesome. It was the excitement of seeing a BO105 fairly regularly as a kid that got me interested in flying. I would love to fly helicopters one day. Thanks for watching!

[@tonycoco1585]

Great video...is yours the plane?

[@RoryOnAir]

I wish it was, but no. I rent it from Mainair Flying School based at Manchester Barton.

[@julianpratt9616]

Great video - new subscriber so looking forward to keeping up with you flying antics! You look like Sebastian Vettel with your sunnies on :-)

[@RoryOnAir]

Julian Pratt thanks Julian, great to have you onboard! My mother-in-law has been saying I look like Vettel for years so well spotted! I wish I had his cash so I could buy one of these planes, and maybe a runway for it too. 👍

[@tomself6327]

Great job Liz.. You need to learn how to fly!! you are a Natural Pilot.

[@RoryOnAir]

Tom Self I’m working on her but I think it might be unlikely! Lizi says there’s no point learning because she can just come with me and I’ll do all the work! Fair point...

[@drunkinbda]

ha an oldish video.. doin my ppl now and cannot wait to take my wife as my first partner... so looking forward to the comment "you can actually fly a plane"!!!

[@RoryOnAir]

onionabroad yeah, this one is an oldie now but that was a great moment when Lizi said that. I hope you get there soon with your PPL. Thanks for watching!
