    My heart is warmed by this video. I am so proud of Alina for her accomplishments and her father William for letting her do the flight.

    Im 70 years old and been flying since i was 16. This has to be the most fantastic story/video I've ever seen. Congratulation to Alina and her father. I bet her dad was more worried and nervous than that young lady. Fantastic.
  • I'm absolutely impressed with your teaching methods, as well as Alina's patience in taking what you're instructing her to do and putting them to use. Awesome video all the way around. Good on both of you!!
  • @allenstark3530
    Her parents must be so proud of her. A 14yo showing a level of maturity that you don't see in a 25yo. Wish her safe flying and a wonderful life in the air. ❤
  • What an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME EXPERIENCE. She WILL NEVER FORGET. What AN AWESOME DAD you are to give her this opportunity!
  • @rollandsaxton
    That was awesome. I couldn’t imagine my baby girl doing this at 14. The maturity and knowledge she shows at her age is awesome. She will be an inspiration to so many young pilots.
  • @davethewave1898
    This is such a great story. Hats off to the father, much respect for the daughter and appreciate all the help and support from all at EAA. Such a great story to share! Thank you!
  • @jc11250f45
    I so impressed by this father daughter team. The courageous young lady and the nurturing father. Touches the heart, I’m sure the natural born flyer has an amazing and fulfilling life of adventure and accomplishments ahead of her. You are both wonderful!
  • @Delatta1961
    I flew military and civilian commercial aircraft, and this young lady is a real inspiration that’s badly missed these days
  • @terrycrooke1
    WOW WOW WOW !!! I started flying at her age and it brought tears to my eyes.... what a fantastic young lady! (and well done Dad)
  • Super Dad. Trip of a lifetime that will never be forgotten and Dad was there the whole time. Cool story.
  • @msirull
    Great video, Alina! Nowadays, pilots all want ro fly higher and faster. They’re totally missing where the REAL fun is… 300’ over the treetops at 40mlph in an open cockpit. Nothing better. Congrats, Alina… you go, girl!
  • I've been following her videos for a little more than six weeks now. I am so proud of her and her Crew Chief Dad, her mother and support group. Aim High, Alina. May God's angels forever be your wingmen. ~ USAF Retired 😎👍🏻🛩️

    As a retired CFII, I think Alina’s Dad is on to something in his method of teaching her how to fly. Definitely flying the runway a few feet off the ground really teaches the student to modulate the controls to maintain that attitude. He had great baby steps as building blocks too. Great job Dad and great job Alina! There certainly is a lot to take away from this. Having a student who love learning and flying like this makes a tremendous difference too.

    Alina, what a great accomplishment to look back on in the years ahead. Many of us grey-haired pilots can look back on one or two wonderful flying experiences but your trip from SC to Oshkosh beats them all. Congrats to you and your dad.
  • @gawebm
    Damn! I've been flying for 30 years and thought I'd heard everything. You are very impressive. This is a very big deal that you may not fully appreciate. Fifty years from now you are going to look back at this with an amazing sense of pride. I have no idea how your Dad survived the stress!!! Keep on flying, Alina!
  • @davidbeardsley4465
    So epic!!! Congrats! That’s an adventure you tell your grandchildren about. A story like this gives us hope for the future. I just can’t say enough. Excellent job!!!
  • @maxlever9196
    Miss. Scott, Great story of determination and patience. Set your sights high, you can achieve any goal. Mr. Scott, Good job.
  • @johnharward246
    Super impressive girl!! I would be nervous about flying into that busy environment and I'm 50+ At 14 that's just amazing and full marks to her dad for giving her the confidence and space to believe. Outstanding all round...
  • Such a joy to watch Alina's story. I so enjoy positive stories featuring young people. With an attitude like hers, I know her future is limitless. ❤❤❤
