  • wow! captain band!

  • Heel erg mooi!

  • great video

  • Your dad and mine have allot in common. He worked hard to get where he is now. He flies the 737 NG for KLM to and got denied so many times, BUT never gave up and he pursued his dream. He has had allot of influence on me and I am prepared to do the same, as it is my dream to become and airline pilot.

    I am sure you are proud of your dad as I am of mine. Very nice video! I love it!

  • i could cry when i watch this beautiful video :(

    i was one of the best in my class,,,great notes ..i played american football and all the stuff...

    i was the bourne for this job...after i graduated with excellent notes i went to the german airforce and passed the tests..included the medical tests ....just 8 days later i had an sport accident in american football and my knie ended the carrier...

    LCA and miniscus gone....

    now i am 20 and have no more dreams

  • @ColtOneColt

    I'm so so sorry to hear that , and thanks for sharing us mistakes to learn from , I'm now 14 , and when its time to push my self and work hard , I will never play sports , and when I become a pilot , I promise from my heart , I will help you , just remind me 5 years later

  • @killmuster

    thank you men..i hope your dreams will come true...

  • 2- I finally did it in 4 months , everyday after school I was working on this and I finally had a super great note..so they gave me my physics for this year..! I'll finish high school in 1 year and now we're in June..I'm doing my strongs mathematics in my summer vacancy until may 2012...It's my dream and it's the best career in the world.....

  • 1-I love your sentence , Never give up the things that you really want. I want to be a pilot actually , I need my physics and my strong mathematics here in Canada , I have actually my physics for the upcoming year but I didn't have my physics this year since February.I was completely demotivated...and in February I talked to my teacher and she said '' you know , you should do your strong science to have your physics because I know you really want to be a pilot and don't give up on this dream ''

  • Wow great video! Thank you

  • Then comes the costs for training, renting the plane, fuel, and everything else it will take about 5-10 years NO MATTER WHAT COURSE YOU Take civilian or military and will be many hours of flying and studying (hundreds to thousands) in total through these years. Also, while not all companies require a degree the one with it gets chosen over the one who doesn't have it.

    In total it will take 5-10 years close to 100k or a decade in service and close to 1000 hrs of flight before you have a chance

  • Very inspirational and motivating video there!

  • I want to become an airline pilot so bad.I am gonna complete my last high school year and I live in UAE but i am so confused about what courses i need to take to become an airline pilot.I have found flying schools here that provide PPL,IR,CPL and ATPL and some other courses too.What licenses or courses i have to take first and other ones by order and what is the duration of every course??....and will me not entering university cause any problems?

  • @happyness760

    You have to take all of these courses in order to even have the qualifications to become an airline pilot.

    First- PPL (personal pilots license) is needed in order just to fly

    Second- IR (interment rating) show you can fly good and more advanced planes

    Third- CPL (commercial pilots license) allows you to fly for company's (aka commercial certificates)

    Fourth-ATP (airline transport pilots certificate) allows you to fly others commercially

    All of this costs money around 50k

  • YES WE CAN !!!

  • Comment removed

  • Guess what , you're dad and all commercial pilots are pussies. It snows for 3 seconds in Atlanta and you shut down the whole fuckin airports for days. Any opportunity they can take to take advantage of the flyer. You still get paid and we can't refund the tickets, while his fat ass sits happy in a lounge with a beer. Fuck you, and your dad. REAL men work full time all the time, rain sleet and snow, and when runways are clear you STILL delay flights, not that it matters to you. Don't reply, fag.

  • @TheGreenPlague why are you so angry? flying is a passion and if you are just a person who searched a pilot video to make fun of him, thats rediculous, maybe you should do something you will be happy with, that is why we are here to support each other in the aviation industry....

  • @TheGreenPlague Why should we not reply... because you're a coward maybe??? You have no idea how much work and effort it takes to become a Commercial Pilot, let alone a Captain. "The real men" that work in "Rain sleet and snow" are people who have given up on trying and find themselves collecting rubbish or street sweeping, all because they were too cool for school or gave up 'cause life was too hard. Newsflash... life isn't fair. As bad as things may be, there should always be a way through. :)

  • @TheGreenPlague ok go retard let the plane fly out in a sever thunderstorm or snow so your engines can be struckened and flamed out no one told you to fly if your that much negative go get a car going far? what do you preffer a 2 hour delay or so to hours of flight or fucking days in a car please die,

  • @houshidar558 ...I barely understood anything you wrote, I guess pilots don't need to be literate or coherant either. Maybe that's why you're always having to *ahhhhhhh* think about what you're gonna say. Lol, you morons. Commercial airliners are safeguarded agaisnt severe weather, you would have to hit a super cooled rain cloud, and water would have to get inside the pitot tubes. Highly unlikely event. Lighting? Not an issue. Ice on ground? BUY THE FUCKIN SALT & PLOWS, you cheap bastards.

  • @TheGreenPlague i meant fly the plane yourself faggot do all the work see how well you do dont you get it? pilots dont decide to cancel in sever weather the airline and the airport does ATC will close departures and incomming not the fucking pilots your retarded get yourself checked out and seek medical help.

  • @houshidar558 > Oh That's what you meant? Hard to tell because you didn't say shit about that, you dumb ass.- (You : "blah blah blah, I aint make no sense cuz i'm a fuktard wit an 8th grade education")

    I'm don wit cha, 'brothah' WORD.

  • @TheGreenPlague maybe your reading comprehension is at an 8th grade level " im don wit cha 'brothah' WORD?" what the fuck? ahahaha were you abused by your parents?

  • @houshidar558 OMG, are you that fucking STUPID? God damned man...I was making fun of YOU, and how YOU talk.

    ...You must be so used to embaressment it doesn't even register at this point. I can't keep replying to you troll, obviously being an idiot is a joy for you.

  • @TheGreenPlague being an idiot? speak for yourself your facts about pilots being pussies delays etc are so misleading you made yourself look like a simple minded IQ lacking dumbass like most of this community has you have nothing better to do then just write back and make yourself look even more stupid by not knowing a single clue what the fuck your talking about you have some serious issues in your life, its amazing how your everything that i hate in a person.

  • @houshidar558 blah blah blah, dry your eyes little girl.

  • @TheGreenPlague see now you just dont know what to say, now that i look t it you should do that too, cry a river build a bridge and get over it.

  • @houshidar558 : D 

  • @TheGreenPlague

    chill you prick sorry ur 20k a year angers you also that shutting down of flight is so like you don't get killed when a plane that is landing wont stop on the runway and crashes into something though the world would be a better place without your type

  • Comment removed

  • @TheGreenPlague

    oh your right my bad on the grammar but just to let you know i don't fly planes yet, nor do i panhandle, but i wonder where would you get the bomb and what plane would you bomb since im not flying one...

    inferences are not good and don't help your cause just a tip for friendly debate

  • @bradleyarg You're a relic of a misbegotten generation, and soon you and your kind will be a forgotten memory.

  • @TheGreenPlague

    yes quite true as always "the wheel turns and ages come and go" (pardon my WOT reference if you don't understand sorry your loss) and eventually the day will come when I'm forgotten along with many others of my generation but odds are that will be after yours...

    While I could be wrong I'm almost positive your about 5-20 years older that me...

  • hhhmmm i want a dad like him too

  • Wow, Great video! Your dad is a great person with much patient, and he made it!

    I am 16 years, live in belgium but actually im dutch, and i really want to becoma a pilot! Since my 5th i begun loving the airplanes, Nice video!

  • @bruTOP7up depends where your from but.... get your flight training, a college educations and after shoveling over ehh $60,000-$80,000 for flight training CFI it up or find some crap hole regional build up hours and then maybe youll get lucky and find a major airline hiring.... if you beat the odds of finding a job in the majors you already beat the odds so be happy with that. A 747 would be even luckier...

    But in all honesty go for it just have a back up plan

    Ian - pilotian.com

  • mydad is also a pilot, thinking i take the same road. only problem is this can be hard on families.

  • too fucking expensive to take the pilot courses

    looks like I need to join the army...

  • great job man....whats the music called?

  • @parkzonecorsairtips Coldplay-Dont Panic

  • Thanks for a great video! I`m starting my career to become a pilot too. I`m joining the army and planning to become a helicopter pilot. Wanted to join the air force, but could not. I was curious how your dad was able to become an airline pilot when he only had a helicopter pilot license. As far as I know, the two license (helicopter and airplane) is different. Since I am kind of in the same situation as your dad, I would be so happy to know how he was able to become an airline pilot.

    Thank you!

  • whats the music?

  • hmm I wish i could fly fighter jets, if i didn't let my vision drop and hadn't kept wearing my glasses, my eyes wouldn't be as bad as they are today. I would fight to get my Wings as a fighter pilot, but the next best thing is Choppers. looking to go to the United States Military Academy and get my Wings for the Apache in the Army, get my private license on my free time at some air institute, and go where ever aviation takes me.

    fly for the FBI, or American Airlines, who knows right?

  • You must be really proud of your dad. Not everyone can become a captain :)

    I really really want to be a pilot, but somethig is killing my dream. After I watched this video, my hope to become a pilot is really high :D

  • Nice film! :-) nice song too!

  • Damn 3mm...

    That suck real bad..

  • amazing, id think that its very very difficult to become a pilot.. good luck to those pursuing this career i wish you all luck.. great job on this video, seeing this makes me want to just be in a plan this very moment and travel those evening sky's.

  • man your father is great man

    i'm  a pilot (jordanian pilot)and i really like his carrer life say hi to him

    and he really brove to me that yyou an be great from nothing

    i am a fan for you father i wish i can meet up with him and fly with him in the same cockpit :)

  • I hope I get a such great career like your dad!

  • loved it.. new subscriber!

  • V inspiring!! You must be v proud....

  • I sent you a personal message, please check it out ;)

  • So AntonyTH , your dad stopped studying(school) when he got throught the air force?

  • @youtubing1458 No he just finished :)

  • right firstly youdo need 75 k for a atpl you dont get them at univerety at a flying scool modular training it around 40 k although the airlines dont hire because there refered to as low fly pilots sponsorships have become redundant so the only other way is to learn by army and then aply for a sponsorship this is becomeing more amd more rare so be fore you say no way or out like that fing out first

  • to be a airline pilot you need £75 to £85 k so

  • no way

  • every time ....when i feel sad...i watch this video

  • hey im on my way to become a pilot and i was wandering if u can ask him would being a corporate pilot or airforce milityary etc pilot look better on my application im only 14 rite now so i got time and im training for my private so please respond and tell me please!!! :)

  • is it very difficult to be an airline pilot?

  • just need money and patience and you will do it

    yes it is easy if you have money and patience

    to get them 2...you need WILL POWER

    do you have will power?

  • what is will power? :D

  • basically when you say you want to do something challenging and you do it, and try so hard until you get it

  • If i want to apply to airline company like Lufthansa how much it will cost for me?

  • do you have any licenses?

  • no I am only 17 so i want to start learning

  • if you have alot of money but no patience...pay for the licenses, total of around £40,000

    if you have patience but not alot of money start University..but please note this way takes years and years and years

  • I have money, so I pay 40,000, 6 years and I am BA pilot? xD

  • about 10-15 years

    PPL=£6,500

    ATPL=£15,000

    and all other licenses and tests total to about £30 to £40k

  • PPL and ATPL? xD

  • PPL=Private Pilot License

    ATPL=Airline Transport Pilot License

    Do you have skype?

  • Yes Vortexxx-777

  • ok i added you, i am on skype often, continue this chat on there someday

  • this is a very nice video !

  • It is a fantastic video. I would like to that what are the drawbacks in this profession. I would like to pursue my career in aviation and at this stage, I am in process of exploring the information about this field.

  • This is a very nice tribute to your Dad. I think I am considerably older than you, but my father was also my idol. Flew in WWII, became an airline pilot afterwards. I rode jumpseat as a kid. It was great. He retired in 1978 as a DC-10 captain. I was really proud of him. I became an engineer, with some flight projects. My background in aviation was very helpful there.

  • Piloting is my dream. By far the best job in the world. Watching the videos of evening flights high up with the sunset are just pure awesome and lovely.

    I also wouldn't mind to be in the police too. But I think I'm going to begin pursuing my aviation career soon. In year 12 right now. Might join the air force and do it that way, not sure though. Is it worth it?

  • What's the name of the song ?

    I really like it.

  • @TheDaninster1

    Cold Play - Beautiful World

  • thanks for the good luck ! where are you from ?

    what does the ha!ha mean?

  • He's from the Netherlands, and haha means a laugh..

  • i am 18 and finished my school...after 9 month in the army..i want to start my flying career....

    pilot is the best job in the world

  • I think you are proud with your dad. Good luck both of you.

  • i am 10 and i want to be a pilot beside i have been getting good scores in maths and my favourite airline is ryanair we always travel by ryanair because it is low cost airlines

  • @TheDaninster1 Haha! Don't blame you :) Keep your scores up man, Good Luck!

  • I can see that your are a pilot too!I admire pilots,I think that is a proffesion with a huge responsability!

    My son will be a pilot soon,he loves to fly since this childhood..He was infected with aerococcus!! There is no cure for that illness !

  • Thanks for sharing that video Anthony. Your Dad seems like a great guy.

  • hey , ur dad is cool !!

  • nice dad , tell ur dad hes very hardworking. i wanna be a pilot too and that was dream when i was 4 and now i am 10. =) i luv this vid

  • Hey I am 10 years old too and I also wanna become an airliner pilot. Listen my account says I am 18 but I am realy 10 years old I just lied to get a Youtube account even though lying is bad I had no choice. Hope you repli and also I think a pilot is a realy nice job I just can't wait to get trained and start flying. I also hope you accept my friend invetion to be friend's with you. Thanks.

  • You have a long way to go, lol.

  • Awesome!! but how did he get his PPL and CPL at 16??

  • Where does it say that? He joined the AF at the age of 19 ;-)

  • at 0:26 u just said it.

  • No...I said he got through everything but got denied at the end because he was too young . Then at the age of 19 he did the selections again, and thén he got accepted.

  • thats really nice! Im turning 20 and i just started it.

  • @AntonyTH Ah, so that means no requirement for any PPLs and CPLs at all?

  • @Captainbritishair Well you start with most of the time nothing when joining the AF. After The AF you have a military ATPL.. you start your training on small, and go bigger every step. So during yur AF training, you gain all these licences.

  • @AntonyTH There is new kind of licence these days called MPL - Multi Crew Pilot Licence. It's a new concept and only a few airlines train their pilots that way. The difference is that students don't get a PPL or CPL anymore. They get more simulator training and they just have to do one test to get the MPL. The advantage is that airlines are involved in training and the students are best prepared for the daily routine from the beginning. In Germany, Air Berlin is the first airline to assign MPLs.

  • @AntonyTH nice video and nice life career.

  • @AntonyTH

    you are so luckie because your father are pilot and you can be near from planes

    look at me. live at 100km from nearest airport. is extremelly hard to me to become a pilot because of $ ( in my country 58000$ ) and if i wont be a TAP Portugal pilot i dont want to life ( really )

  • @TheBadameco hey, to cheer you up, be sure to check our naples air center (JAA Training). It is in Naples, Florida, United States. It is very cheap, 8000-12000 dollars for a full course i believe im not sure. It is very very cheap and nice to live in florida by the way, you should consider it! I might go that route because i want to fly for Iberia airlines or Air europa, i live the the united states but i have spanish decent so il be ok, Good luck to you my friend!

  • @Captainbritishair Ah ok, Thanks!

  • I like the editing and music great job!

  • i know those restrictions on height etc may seem a bit unfair but theres a good reason for them; so ejecting doesnt kill him, so the load factor doesnt crush him, along those lines

  • Comment removed

  • nice video thank you I HOPE SOME DAY OURS DREAMS COME TRUE

  • Excellent video, People should have a 'Goal' and stick to it - Regardless of all the 'Doom & Gloom' + 'Shite' this world is FULL of!!

    ALOT of people 'Seem' to be 'Bitter' about anybody becoming a pilot.

    And don't 'Seem' to understand that if you want something you have to go and get it, Instead of playing on Flightsims + dreaming about nothing!!!

    Best Regards.

  • nice history!

  • mate you talk dick calvinzolamike im 14 and im doing my ppl at ulster flying club you mean you cnt go solo to 16 am also to the guy who made this video you should be proud of ur dad i watched this when you first made it and i was like i want to do at and ni im getting there im only 14 ino but im starting and i have done 7 hours and i hope to be like ur dad brill video amzing

  • what is the song title?

  • Firstly I want wo a pilot ,too .

    then i really be touch by this story

    yes , life is changeable !!

    and i can do it !!

  • I really dont get your point. Like he can help me getting my ATPL sooner and more easy? No.. we all have to do it ourselfes. Even IF your dads a pilot himself, that doesnt mean that everything just comes to you like that.. not a bit. This is a misunderstanding many people have.

    I dont live off my dads glory at all. This video is about how he became a pilot, and that we all need to go for it to reach our goals and dreams. So your comment doesnt make any sence.

  • Being proud of what your father did is perfectly respectable and he is not living off the fact, so don't be such a nob end, your misunderstanding the point of the video

  • well you know what mate if my dad was a airline pilot i would be soo soo happy and i would be happy sharing it with people because parents are roll models to there children. and antony only made this 1 vid involving his father to help you guys who get the felling "i cant do it" to change that and say "Yes i can do it, i will try i will get there"

    well dont antony my friend and give my gratz to your father

  • heey im 16 years old and i live in ireland and i recentley got my ppl(private pilots licence) im soon starting my atpl and then cpl then meir then last the mcc...my dad flys for british airways hes a captain of a B777..and im goin to follow im my dads footsteps and become a pilot at BA..if anyone needs advise just reply to my comment ..thanks..

  • mate your compltetly bullshitting!!! You have to be 17 to gain your PPL and after your PPL you have to do CPL before you get onto your ATPL! YEH IM REPLYING AND NOBODY LISTEN TO MULLINATOR09!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • em nope mate you can start wen ur 14 but cant gt it until ur 16..im in Ireland btw.!!

  • @bruTOP7up play flight sim..flight simulator x/2004 ...

  • At the end i got chills xD

    I'm 19 (in two months 20) and my dream is to become a pilot. BUT I cannot afford the ATPL...

    p.s. Whats the salary of a pilot ?

  • if u do atpl in ireland its 3000euro

  • @mullinator09

    are you serious?

  • Depends who you fly, for.

    Often depends on the airline and the amount of authority you have.

    For e.g. an easy jet first officer may get around £30k pa but a senior first officer would rise to around £45k pa. then finally a captain for easyjet would get around £75k.

    High ranking ba pilot would be around the 100kpa mark i expect.

    Hope this helps :)

  • 16?! thats so young lol at the KLM u must be have a age of 18 =O

  • Great video.

    I'm 16 and I will hopefully take my first solo flight next week.

  • great work! i am now ready to be pilot! thx

  • I was very moved and motivated by your video, AntonyH. I'm 30 years old and just started my journey towards my commercial license. I'll be starting from the very bottom, so I have a long road ahead of me. But it's doable. Anything's possible if you apply yourself 100%. God bless.

  • Thanks for sharing your story. Always good to know this movie is of use for some people! And you're right, anything's possible, just go for it!

    God speed! =)

  • really good!

    really nice!

    congratulations

  • So true. "Life is about creating yourself" (George Bernard Shaw).

    Lekker, man!!!

  • AMAZING!

  • Very good!

  • awesome video this vid is very motivating...whats the name of the song

  • wow, thank you so much for this video! I am a south african pilot, was getting heavy demotivated. Now after watching this video, I feel ready to tackle my commercial pilots license! Thanks

  • Wow, I'm very honored! I wish you all the best.

    Do not give up indeed, life's to short to worry, and to beautiful to stay on the ground with your plane :D

  • your old man looks like a great bloke..

    All the best to him and you mate/ daniel-

  • You are such a lucky boy. Be proud of your dad!!

    :)

  • i miss the good ol' days when the only glass you had in the cockpit was the windows ;(

  • True. I always used to think analog cockpits were too difficult, ugly etc..but ever since I work with helicopters, and I see the difference between an S-61 and an aw-139..I don't know, Analog has something special! same with the 733 and 738.

    Good old times indeed.

    Thanks for your comment.

  • Very nice video!

    I miss Citybird :-(

  • Hey AntonyTH!

    Thank you for uploading such a beautiful and meaningful video for all the pilot - wannabe out there. It is truly a live testimonial of dreams do come true.

    It would be my honor to watch your outstanding Father's video as. Pilots wanna be out there, lets work together in this beautiful world!

  • Great video! Thanks ...

  • exelente video muy bonito mucho amor de hijo a padre exelente

  • tuching story...."never give up the things you really want" it's true..

  • i want to be like your dad (:

  • Nice Video. It is a great inspiration for those who want to become an airline pilots. Be proud of your dad. I wish I could be an airline pilot one day. But till now I had a great discovery ride in Cessna flight. Thanks.

  • Wonderfull! Really..... I think your Dad is very proud of you. It's a very nice gift for him!

  • very nice! be like him!

  • WOW! can't believe your dad flies 777. Now Yes we live in a beautiful world. Flying is not my passion anymore, but it taught me one valuable lesson. That is what it feels like when you really love something It makes you want to get up and go even when you are tired, that will come handy later as I pursue my surgical career. I wish you and your dad many happy landings. (If you are thinking about flying that is.) Can I have the song name by chance?

  • Coldplay-Dont panic

  • really nice inspiration and music helps also!!

  • Very insperational, Never let someone tell you it can't be done.

  • great vid.

    you love your farher.

  • very nice video
