I bet you're massively excited taking the next step with your flight training. Well done Ben, keep us all updated on your progress. 😎✈️

You’ve taken me back over forty years. I can feel the excitement just watching you. You are a very good pilot Ben, one of the best ppl’s I’ve watched in fact. I’m looking forward to following your journey.

Well here begins the journey, Ben. Really looking forward to following your progress. All the very best!! At almost 60 I can’t offer any advice on real world flying. What I would say is this having be a trainer and service provider for many years: Always be yourself. Always default to what you know you do best and you know works. Never deviate to try to impress or be someone you are not. Good luck!!!

Ben wishing you every success in your next phase of your flying career. Be very proud, as you said, you have funded all you previous flying yourself, that young man is some achievement. I look forward to following your journey on getting your CPL. The world of Commercial Pilots need people like you, Dedicate and Professional. ✈️

As i say Ben, i like your simplicity. Your videos are never over-done. I like that.

[tflahant]

I hope you are going to take us all the way on your journey Ben, it's damn exciting. Give me 35 years back and I'd be right beside you fella ;)

I can't wait for the video of you flying a Boeing 747!best of luck Ben!

[JodelFlyer]

Good for you Ben. All the best. Your hard work is already paying off!

[deathruddlesdeathruddles]

Excellent video! Well filmed and incredibly exciting. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids!

[busychris]

Good on you Ben. I have both ATPL(H) and (A) and really enjoy your videos. It still sends a shiver down my spine when I think of the initial IR but the DA42 will make life a little bit easier. No mixture or prop controls to add to the fun!

[RoryOnAir]

Nice one mate. Looking forward to hearing you over the tannoy on a commercial flight some day soon.

Fantastic, well done Ben! So cool that they give you a uniform also, that must be a proud feeling

[RichardWilliams-lzeq]

Very many congratulations on making it this far - I made half my PPL then couldn't maintain funding, so I understand what you've had to commit to reach this. I've flown with Aeros, great training company - enjoy every minute!

[garydell]

Congratulations on your decision to go get a commercial rating. You are going to be busy but hopefully we can go along with the training. You'll never regret this. I flew corporate & now just the fun stuff. I' m an old pelican. Your still young. Take advantage of it. Thanks again Ben.

[CherokeePilot]

from across the pond, USA, Yolanda and I are so proud of you, Ben. You have a goal and you're willing to work hard to achieve it. We are looking to take a trip/cruise to the UK in a year or two, and we look forward to meeting, "Captain Ben". Blue Skies, and God Bless!

[airportspotting]

Good luck Ben! Looking forward to following along on your videos!

[astudentpilotlife]

I am starting my commercial training this week, so excited!

[THEROCKNROLLBUS]

I was directed here by Aeros after a visit a few weeks back. I will be jumping on the fast track cpl early next year hopefully. Just awaiting confirmation on booking my class 1 medical. A little daunting given i am a complete novice! Hoping ill pick things up as i should. Looking forward to obtaining everything i need to start revising etc when i enroll! Onwards & Upwards

[craigl]

Look forward to watching you and joining you on your journey.

Ben, I have enjoyed your videos, particularly the recent posts documenting your commercial training. Can I ask why you chose a school so far away when there are others much closer such as Liverpool. I am about to do the same and as I currently fly out of Barton, Liverpool is the obvious choice.


Thanks
