That first cross country is most memorable.

Awesome work and I am so so jealous! Flying WAS a lifelong dream for me, but now at 67 pretty sure it will remain a dream. You go after your dreams while your young brother! Be safe and enjoy flying!🙏

Love how you were confident with the ATC! I'm just starting, 5 hrs through. Your videos are motivational :)

[RusscanFLY]

Definitely a nice cross country brother! You’re moving along pretty quick. Very nicely done!

About to head off on my own solo cross country flight for the first time so this was super inspirational!

Bro, keep your hand on the throttle when taking off.

Hah.. I remember my first solo XC some 1500 hours ago.. Mainly because I got lost! No GPS in those days..:). Great radio work BTW!

I remember getting away from the home airport by myself, it was the flight where I realized that I have in fact learned a ton just to get to this point.
All sorts of radio contact from Toronto Center and Cleveland Center was giving me a helmet fire but by the end of it I felt more confident.
Cool flight man.

Nice vid. Any advice for getting comfortable with radio communication? Any apps u used to practice or any methods u recommend?

[AlphaKilo.Warrior]

Hello from the opposite side of the USA in Connecticut! Great content looking forward to seeing more of your journey. I have 150 hours myself and just started filming my flights. Still learning even after the PPL! +1 sub fam.

Great job Tristan, my XC from Fullerton will be down to KCRQ-KRNM-KCNO-KFUL. Excited for a test run into Ramona as i've only flown the Palomar dual XC a few times and now it's time for XC Solo. I'm just not familiar with Ramona so we're going to run it down there in a few days but it looks like a beautiful and wide-open airport.

What’s the background music? It was so relaxing I want to use it for my solo tomorrow lol! Great flight btw

[noahstyffe]

Great job man. Doing my cross country to KRNM hopefully in couple weeks as well. Let me know how your stage check went? I believe due to weather you weren't able to complete it when we spoke.
