There's something I need to do...

[@samwalker3441]

Man, the humidity is high in here. I have moisture around my eyes. It has to be sweat.......... I love a great story.

[@stephenprater6718]

I just had the same high humidity situation here, Sam. I love a love story.

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Dang onions!! Or is it allergies? Seriously, congrats to you both Chels and Josh!

[@lvance3236]

I don't think I have ever seen a woman look at a man with as much love in her eyes as she does when she looks at you. You are one lucky dude. Congrats. May your life ahead be filled with joy and the happiness that comes only from family.

[@danw050]

That 'look' of Chelsea's is what I noticed most a year ago. Those who become our spouses DO have the look for each of us early.... It's not just Chels. The trick is to 'keep that look' alive for decades as you hit the rough spots. It's these early years that set the tone for the long haul. I think they might have what it takes. I'm at 41 years (to the same awesome lady). She still 'occasionally' looks at me that way.. when I'm not ticking her off.. lol...

[@samwalker3441]

I totally agree.

[@ApartmentKing66]

I HAVE seen a woman look at me with that kind of love in her eyes...my own woman.

[@joecct77]

I think we all knew a year or so ago that you and Chels were destined to be together forever. Congratulations and live long and prosper.

[@stonebear]

Yeah.. I saw that coming since Valentine's Day in West Texas... and I knew when I saw that title that what happened at 13:50 was gonna be in THIS VIDEO... and I'm screaming YEAHHHH!!! at the screen. Y'all have EARNED that... and I'll second the "live long and prosper." Me? I'm taking a longshot, and getting my own new home airport: EHRD. If y'all want a BIG adventure, something that'll take a bit more than a C-172 (though surprisingly not MUCH more, if you're willing to take the far north route)? Across the big pond is definitely a thing. Funny enough, the thing that got me firmly attached to flying was another journalist and his lady friend crossing the pond, back in 1975... Peter Garrison and Nancy in Melmoth, "The Compass and the Clock" (December '75 _Flying_)... I hope your story sticks with the next generation as that one did with me.

[@berniedickey9919]

Yep, we've been waiting. Lol

[@fwoodbridge]

together forever ... hopefully.

[@maintenancebynathan2150]

WOW what a story. Thought I was watching the Hallmark channel. I'm an old guy. My risk taking days are over. No recovery time. Bless you both. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You risked it all. You won it all.

[@CptnSavage]

I hope he sends this video to Hallmark and they make a movie out of it. I'd pay to see that.

[@nkystevep7007]

I have never met either one of you, however I feel like you both are my friends. You made a 54 year old man cry with joy which is very hard to do. Congratulations

[@gregscally5119]

My sentiments exactly. I'm 74 and blubbering like a baby. LOL.

[@jbl7092]

Took you long enough 😂😂 Girls like her don't come along every day. Congratulations. You two deserve all the happiness the world has to offer.

[@JLBB22]

As someone who has seen you ever since 2010 when I had 9 years old, and my dream was becoming a pilot, to seeing you today as a 23 year old, commercial pilot, I’m really happy for you! Congrats Josh!!!!🎉🎉❤❤

[@richardrickert3138]

Congratulations. Your the luckiest guy on UTube to have a beautiful girl that adore's you, is a pilot, owns her own airplane, and can do maintenance on your airplane. What a deal. Cheers to the both of you and your life's adventure.

[@RaceMentally]

You brought a 6’5” dude to tears watching this. The proposal did it. If y’all did a movie I’d watch it. Thanks for the content and helping us fellow pilots.

[@jameshuggins7320]

😂

[@dehydratedrhombus2473]

Also 6'5". Also cried.

[@FtwAv8r]

Me too.

[@TexDrinkwater]

I wasn't crying, I was thinking about the onions I have to slice up in a couple of hours. Yeah, that's it, onions.

[@SMButler]

I'm not 6'5". Since my wife is 5'1" I claim 5'15". This one is getting shared with her (and my handkerchief is wet) as she does love a good love story -- not so much the airplanes!

[@jsamsen]

Josh, I have followed you since you were in high school and credit you for getting this rusty old pilot and CFI current again after a 25 year break. I have been holding my breath hoping that Chelsea was the one for you. I was applauding wildly when I saw you propose to her. Congratulations to you both. May you have an amazing journey through life together. Have fun at Oshkosh this year.

[@ChangingAperture]

A few minutes in I was thinking “if this video doesn’t end with a proposal, I’m gonna be SOOOOO MAD!!” So happy for both of you! Congratulations!!!

[@StarsOverStripes]

I came here for the flying, stayed for the video editing, came back for the story. Magnificent story, video production, and overall, story telling. Wishing you both the best and congratulations. I’ve been into aviation my whole life, been going to Oshkosh since I was 3. Just like Paul Poberzeny said, “We come for the airplanes, we come back for the people.” People are truly what matters in life. Oh yeah, but airplanes are cool also.

[@loydmeeks2439]

She is so beautiful. Took you long enough.

[@searsfam5317]

lol

[@andrewwenzel3600]

When I started watching this channel I was just a kid who enjoyed aviation but had no experience or connections to the industry and didn't really know how to get started. Through your work you've helped me so much in finding a way in and getting my aviation journey off to a start, 10 years later I'm now on the verge of taking my CPL checkride and am now looking at where to start my flying career. I can't thank you enough for all you've tought me through sharing your tips and your story on this channel, you and Chelsea are such an incredible team. So thank you both and a huge congratulations, I cannot wait to see where your story goes next.

[@SkyroofNova72]

Cheers 🍻 and congratulations! We viewers have been on the edge of our seats, patiently waiting, for you to make things official BECAUSE we can no longer imagine this channel without Chelsea! What a blessing to have found each other.

[@thorbostrom438]

Wow! Congratulations to both of you. I love to see the warmth of Chelsea's smile when she looks at you. So nice. Eyes are also moist.

[@LorenHenry-ip3tw]

Thank you! As 61 year old new grand parent and a first time ever making a comment on line, I just wanted to let you know that your video moved me to tears! Thanks again for all of your videos and if the two of you are ever near the coast of Alabama (kcqf) please reach out as not only do we have room for you to stay my wife and I would be delighted to take you to dinner and show you a little bit of the gulf coast and fairhope Alabama area. (I know you have been close when you flew some approaches from Pensacola and you have also skirted along the coast past Alabama multiple times!). I admire the two of you and wish you the best! Heck I don’t think I’ve seen you in an aero commander so maybe plan for that while your here as well. (N1340j). Again thanks for this latest video and getting me to post on line for the first time! Enjoy air venture! (I won’t make it this year since I used that card going to sun n fun’s 50th this year) Loren

[@johnvanduren4806]

As with every new show, Aviation 101 makes my day and week. I wish you everything good and the same forever Love my wife and I shared for 16 yrs. till she passed, but that love has NEVER DIED. May GOD Bless you both with all the greatness you both deserve.

[@ibgarrett]

Congratulations!! I think the entire aviation community has been waiting with bated breath for this announcement! :)

[@EagleOne49]

With man-tears in my eyes, let me wish you two lovebirds a HUGE congratulations! I've been waiting for this video since Chels entered your life. Nothing but blue skies for you guys!

[@gmmg82]

I don't know if you get enough love in the comment section on your narration skills! Absolutely fantastic!!

[@christopherclegg5682]

Watching your videos over the years I always knew you guys were made for each other. The way Chelsea looks at you spoke of her love for you. Congratulations and best wishes for your bright future together. Millie is gorgeous and just the fact that you gave her a forever home makes you guys #1 in my books.

[@colelje]

Congratulations to Josh and Chelsea. Thank you for taking us on your adventures and journeys together. Love the way you film and tell your stories. Here's to many many more adventures together! Cheers!

[@shack1975]

You’re a gifted storyteller Josh, and you help the rest of us in aviation live our own stories to the fullest. Sincere congratulations to both of you, and so happy for this turn in your story!

[@MichaelLloyd]

Ya know... it's tempting to say "it's about time" and you know what... it is... about... time. It's about time spent together. Time in happiness, time in strife and how you learn to deal with that together, time apart, time with family. You two did it right and I admire the both of your AND your parents for that. Congratulations and best wishes for long and prosperous lives!

[@debadrimanna21]

I had just started medical school back in 2014 when I came across your channel. From the aborted takeoff video in the mountains, to taking off for a new journey in your life. Congratulations, Josh! ❤

[@deansiracusa3966]

Congratulations! Two amazing people, even more amazing together.

[@jeffrash4637]

I'm no pilot but I've always wanted to learn to fly. I've been watching you on KZbin for years. Congratulations Josh and Chels! Many many lifetimes of happiness.

[@Southshore26]

Having followed you since close to the beginning, couldn't be happier for you Josh!!! Hope you two have a lifetime of happiness!!

[@louispatrick421]

Beautiful... Beautiful story, beautiful storytelling, beautiful filmography and editing, beautiful couple... just beautiful. Well done and congratulations!!

[@Twizlair]

Congratulations. Been with my wife for 35 years she has never flown with me but she has never said I cannot. Take your special and make it work for you!! hope to see you both at OSH.

[@VictorLindgren-m4f]

You two are awesome and I love your videos, I couldn’t hardly wait for you to pop the question to her and when you did, I had tears in my eyes.

[@mn2deep]

About time dude!! You can't let a prize like her get away....congrats to both you!

[@verlynj]

Wow…! How cool! At 45 with my first child coming this fall with the love of my life, this moves me. I am so happy for the both of you. We will pray for your very best!

[@billye1789]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@JeffWaldronArcade]

I'm a fairly new subscriber and really been getting into your videos. Flight has been a dream of mine my whole life, and at 56 I'm finally going to push myself to move forward with it. Thank you for helping to inspire me to take this next step. And after watching so many of your videos I have to say this one is my favorite. Congratulations!

[@yakbreeder]

I would have sworn that you two were already engaged. Your video "The ladies flew us to Key West 3 Countries in 3 Weeks: Part: 9/10" at 14:28, Chelsea is covering her left hand like she was hiding a ring. I hinted in that video that I thought I saw a "surprise" but didn't want to spoil it for anyone else, or ruin it for the both of you. I was completely wrong, and I'm SO glad I didn't say anything else. Regardless, we're so happy for the both of you. Although we knew it was coming. The way you look at each other tells it all. Congratulations to you both, and may you both have a very very happy marriage. CONGRATS! 🎉🎉

[@nbrandaleone]

Congrats to both Josh and Chelsea! Not that I have met either of them, but they seem to be wonderful, genuine people. I am so happy for them both.

[@MrFreddyjack]

Congratulations!! I started watching you about a year before my first solo when i was 15, I’m now 25. Thank you for the amazing content. Enjoy the new chapter.

[@dstuchbury]

Congratulations Josh & Chelsea, you two are clearly destined to be together. Wishing you every happiness for the next chapter of your lives together.

[@Andyw720]

Been waiting for this video forever, congrats to the both of you!!

[@PFSInfo]

Congratulations to you both! We are very glad to have been part of one of your first video shoots together! We wish you all the best.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

OH YEAH! I knew it was building to this!! HUGE CONGRATS 🍾🎉🎈 I figured when Chris & Keelyn were there it was going to be for this reason! Hope you guys have a great rest of your week and I hope to see you both and N80991 at Oshkosh 24 this year! Cheers 🥂 my friend, Wishing You Blue Skies & Tailwinds! -Caleb’s Aviation 😊

[@ahmedyb]

This video captures the true essence of aviation; passion and love. You got the best of both. Thank you for sharing this with us. Now, who’s cutting onions here? 🤧

[@rickclayburn9111]

Have followed Aviation101 for many years and am so happy for you guys. I as well as everyone else could see there was something special with you two.Really brought a tear to this old guys eyes. AND that you have settled down in my State. From Rick in Richmond,Ky. May you guys have all the happiness in life for years to come and take care of that Kentucky girl Josh.

[@MrWirebrain]

I have three boys, three daughter-in-law‘s, three grandchildren. Everybody doing great and I include the two of you. I’ve enjoyed watching you grow together so much. I hope to watch you mature through your life and your family for a lot of years. Thank you for including me Joe.

[@thepilotblake]

FINALLY!!!! So happy for you guys. Can’t wait to see you both at Oshkosh again

[@danataylor343]

Congratulations to Josh and Chelsea,Nothing like this Aviation family! I didn't ugly cry like Chelsea did I swear! yall are a awesome couple,enjoy the journey together!

[@FirinBBs]

I proposed to my wife on enchanted rock 11 years go. It's going to be a blast for you going forward. Enjoy the ride

[@kbmckim9365]

70 yr old , licensed 38 yrs ago. Wife laying beside me asked are you crying. Hate when she ask that. Courting then proposal brought back so many memories. Thank you.

[@420Donnelly]

Congratulations to both of you and thanks for sharing your story.

[@stephenrobinson8250]

You have a talent. And, what a beautiful life story you have been able to capture in video. Looking forward to seeing you memorialize the next 5 to 25 years!

[@barrydraper]

WOW! Congratulations Josh & Chelsea! What a story...

[@dalereed3950]

AOPA did a story on you last year, now they're going to have to do a story on her.

[@daleb194]

You’re a master with the story and the camera. Beautifully told and filmed. Congrats to you both. Dang onions.

[@Mattsc1974]

Congrats you two... Praying for both of you

[@kCI251]

Awwww, what a great story. My wife and I met at a local airport while we were both completing our PPL. We got engaged and married two years later. All that was 13 years ago and life is grand!

[@ecossearthur]

Outstanding! Congratulations 🎊

[@donoru0612]

YES SIR!! Congrats Josh! My eyes are sweating! I am an aviation enthusiast and I love your channel, especially weaving life into your love of aviation! Praying God's blessings on you and your fiancée!

[@nick.flysEmbraers]

Well, congrats!!!

[@Kevin.fireplanes]

Ok who is cutting onions around here.. Congrats you two.. I have to say I called this from the first time I saw the way you two look at each other. And after the tragedy of today's events I needed this video more than you know.

[@salto1994]

Congratulations

[@eugeneweaver3199]

The worst thing that can happen is she'll say no. But if she says yes . . . 🎉❤!

[@dlwilliams76]

She's an angel, and every pilot's dream girl. Congratulations to you both. I have to catch up and meet you guys at Oshkosh this year.

[@scotto3826]

Josh, while I'm disappointed in your downplaying of the severity of COVID and the response to it, I loved this video, as I do all of your videos! Your aviation expertise along with your video production skills are at an elite level. Your ability to educate people about your craft is exceptional, your desire to do it is commendable! But, what impresses me the most is your ability to understand the dynamics of living life while still young. Thank you for being the aviation advocate that you are! Thank you for sharing parts of your life that most people keep private. It's reassuring to see young people with a vision and the common sense to execute it! You and Chelsea are adorable together! I wish you continued success at all your endeavors and adventures! I can't wait to see what's to come! Congratulations sir!

[@AnsonChappell]

I was also a little surprised with the reference to "knee-jerk lockdowns".

[@jaredsquires3323]

Yeah... the eyeroll on "patriotism" and then "knee-jerk lockdowns" was kinda unnecessary... congrats to you both on the proposal, but i couldn't make it through the video after the second COVID remark.

[@aviation3530]

Interesting that Josh’s personal feelings are such a trigger for y’all, also explain what is wrong with patriotism? Whatever

[@enilkja]

Absolutely agree. Over 1,000,000 Americans have died so far of COVID. This was really disappointing. I’ve been a fan of this YT channel for over a decade. This was a bummer.

[@MeanderingMotoMonk]

I've been waiting for this since the day she first appeared on your Channel. Congratulations to you both❤

[@Train2589]

ive followed you for years on and off. some times i'll stumble across you again when that aviation itch hits (usually around Osh) What i'll say is, this was a awesome thing to find after coming back around to your channel again. What a very sweet story of you two. Congratulations you two, y'all are made for each other

[@Nfredible]

I’m not crying, you’re crying!!! I’ve been following a lot of years and you earn all the happiness you find!! Godspeed to both of you!

The video we ALL have been waiting for! Congrats y'all - thanks for sharing the journey with all of us! (And that wind on I40 through NM/West Texas/OK is NO JOKE. I just drove that route in June)

[@alexmeiring9932]

One of your best videos yet! Your content isn’t only hands down the best on KZbin. But, the perfection & focus to detail on every video takes me away to pure joy for 20 mins out of my day. It’s been an amazing ride to watch where you’ve come, gone, & grown as a person for the last 4 1/2 years of watching your content. Keep up the amazing work. Congratulations to you both! Cheers 🍻

[@TheBestWill]

Josh and Chelsea - Congratulations! I'm very happy for you! Josh, phenomenal job with the video. I put you in the top 1% of video storytelling... beautiful cinematography, excellent editing and use of music, engaging story that makes time disappear. Just terrific. Again! And I know how much work that takes!!!!

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

We all long to find our soulmate who looks at you the way that Chels looks at you. Her eyes say it all You are a very blessed man Josh. Wishing you both much happiness. Congratulations.

[@JoseAlfonsoChavez]

Shed a couple of tears.. What a beautiful story. Congratulations! I wish only the best that this world can offer for both of you.

[@ladwiss]

I am a 62 year old guy , married for 23 years to a beautiful woman. You're video brought happy tears to my eyes. Then your stray dog shows up in the end. Made me well up again. My adopted dog Obi looks a lot like yours who came into my life unexpectedly who needed a good forever home. God Bless you Both...from a little town in Montana

'Bout damn time! Made that poor girl wait so long. Truly Happy for both of you, thanks for the ride!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

AWESOME story, Josh, and CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🙌 You do realize that you can NEVER sell that Ford now ... just like you will never find that exhaust on I-40! 😁 Thanks for sharing this! Made my night!! And AMEN to EVERYTHING you said at the end there. I've been married over 2 decades now - I took that chance, and thank God I did!! 😃

[@interceptflight]

Very nice and congratulations. I like how you managed to keep many parts of the proposal private. As mundane as it may seem, I love the dog adoption story, it says something about who you are. Safe flying.

Congrats to you both. Can't wait to see the continuing story and of course more of Milli.

We are thrilled with your engagement and wish you both many, MANY happy years together with loads of flights that we hope you will continue to share with us! Much joy and great flying weather to you!

[@chuckbulot6603]

What an incredible story. Love the cinematography, the writing and the narration. This is a breath of fresh air amidst the stuffy "wannabes" who have no idea about story arc, editing or passion. May God bless you and keep you both safe on the remainder of your journey to where you didn't know you had to go.
