Surprising My Girlfriend With Her First Small Plane Ride! (SHE FLEW IT)

[@crooked-halo]

That was so awesome! How fun that was! My girlfriend's first ride with me was in a 152, from Waco, TX (KACT) to Lake Whitney State Park Airport (F50, just a tiny, 2,000 ft. strip), where we had a sunset picnic on the lake shore. Before it got _too_ dark & we had to leave (no lights on runway) I got on my knee, gave her a ring & asked her to marry me. She said yes.

[@JRAviation]

Wow, awesome story!

[@jack_snare4]

Nice, I currently do my flight training out of KACT! I am a student at Baylor University in the Aviation Sciences program.

[@crooked-halo]

@@jack_snare4 Awesome! I did flight training (comm/inst) and the A&P program at TSTC. My daughter is a sophomore Apparel Design & Marketing dual major at Baylor. Loved Waco (unlike many), Baylor, Antioch Community Church, Double R Burgers (the best), Guess Family BBQ and Helberg BBQ when I lived there!

[@Chatta-Ortega]

My dad had a Mooney Mark 40-A back in the 70's and 80s. It was fast! He loved that aircraft.

[@jameskirk1928]

Loved the flight...LOVED the Mooney...Pilot was cool Canuck...Girlfriend...Always awesome....You had the vision - Now your livin it.👍

[@rbnhood39]

Beautiful plane and a stunning young lady. Can’t beat that.

[@erics9213]

My dad had a Money Mark 20 in the 60s followed by a Bonanza, Apache and back to a Mooney Mark 21. The Mooney was always my favorite.

[@collinreesejones5525]

I know that Mooney well! Sold Mooneys for years...best plane EVER!!!! Bless you guys! Wish I knew the serial # My friend Neal Boortz had an Ovation painted exactly the same... he was a very very popular radio talk show host....

[@dennisnbrown]

Great video! I flew into Payson in October 22. What a great airport with beautiful scenery and nice folks. Food was delicious!

[@fredcarlson5775]

Sacha is amazing young woman wow!

[@moseskelly2886]

I got to fly a Piper Warrior ii when I was 15 1/2 yrs old and I also flew a T-tail glider both were with instructors. Fun fact I did have the option to fly the glider on my own.

[@larryweitzman5163]

Yeah, Payson has a great airport eatery. Flew in there a couple of times and sometimes gas is less expensive than most other airports, kind of pays for lunch or breakfast.

[@macmccune21]

"I have to say Canadian because if I say Charlie they go 'November Charlie...' Theyre not used to it" Thats funny!

[@moseskelly2886]

Jeffrey man I am stoked as always getting to watch these awesome videos!! The Mooney aircraft are absolutely amazing. I've seen quite a few M-20s before, I also saw a Lockheed Martin C-130H Hercules take off from Henry Post Army Airfield located at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. If you want I can send you the video I captured along with the pics.😎

[@americanveteran6923]

Great Video guys. Loved your choice of restaurant,. Payson is a laid back small town and a fun visit. Really appreciated your route and the pic of the dam/Lake view a few miles above my house. It's nice to see your subscriber base climbing.

[@Jayplaya95]

Always proud of my boy and his girl love from Chicago ❤

[@suenergy]

This was a great flight and sharing. Thanks!

[@65Max]

I miss flying sooooo... much. Last flight in my Bonanza G35 (1956 V-tail) was in 2006 after 12 years of serious, family travel to deliver to its new owner.

[@MikeB-in1nd]

Great job Sasha

[@captaincrustyradio]

I enjoyed the flight! Thanks for sharing.

[@Jason-vo7bb]

Crosswinds Restaurant is one of my favorite places to eat. And the do have the best pie.

[@codyalexanderkeith]

I sat in this mooney while touring a hangar in Saskatoon. I was told the owner was in his 80’s at the time. It’s been cool to see Goldfinger online since!

[@thefearlesspursuitoffreedom]

Just landed there last week, and used it part of my cross countries during PPL. Such a fun place to land coming from Flag.

[@johnjg57]

Airlines are screaming out for pilots! Emirates especially. They do really great packages for their crews.🙂

[@Kenriko]

They can’t even finish 40 hours for a PPL the chance of them doing the 1500 for ATP are about 0%

[@HobbitHomes263]

there's a doctor in eastern MT who has a STOL and goes to his remote patients in his plane. he has the passenger side seat taken out and modified a SAR basket to fit in there incase he needs to get some one to higher level care in a hurry and LifeFlight isnt available. So Sasha Air Medical (SAM) is a very real possibility and a much needed service in remote areas of the western states

[@miloswanson9646]

Flew into Payson with my cousin's hubby back in early/mid 2000's for the same same '$100 hamburger' flight out of Mesa Falcon Field... Although we were in a rental Archer...

[@GaryLaaks1]

Friend of my dad had a Mooney years ago. Awesome, fast but hr said they glide like a brick Ha ha. Well done on your first time flying young lady.

[@kn4cc755]

Unfortunately, the friend of your dad was totally wrong. Mooneys have a well known reputation for "floating" on landing due to their wings and low drag. My 201 was 12:1. By comparison, a 172 is 9:1.

[@occyman]

@gary…Your wrong dude..Mooneys have an excellent glide ratio

[@ianmclelland1503]

We gotta get Sasha to wear her seatbelt correctly both in an aircraft and a vehicle. Under the armpit doesn’t work.
