My First Solo Flight: Overcoming Fear & Flying Alone for the First Time | Private Pilot Journey

Описание: What’s up everyone—Tim here. I'm a dad of (almost) four, running a business full-time, investing in real estate, and now... learning how to fly. Yeah, I decided to go all in and chase a lifelong dream of becoming a pilot.

This video shares a major milestone in my private pilot training: my first real solo flight—just me and the sky. But to be honest... it wasn’t all confidence and smooth sailing. I was nervous. Really nervous. I questioned if I should even take off. I second-guessed myself the whole way through. But I pushed through—and I want to show you what that looked like.

Here’s what you’ll see in this video:
