Youngest Dutch pilot Paul (10 years old) flying a Cessna 172

[BLTstudio]

When i was 10 i Started the plane, did my checks, pulled it onto the runway, took the plane off at 80 knots, flew 17 miles turned around and landed with my mom sitting in back and my dad as a co-pilot. Co-Pilot controls were disabled.

[P47BOY]

dude that wasent a sunderland it was a catalina

[P47BOY]

if the kid needs help to put his headset on then I wouldnt call him a pilot FREAKIN GOOD SONG THOUGH LENNY KRAVITZ<3

[SuperDaman117]

[ExplicitCOD]

[XYZarifox]

Great video you have hear, love the intro with the C-47 and Sunderland :)

[seife96]

7:24 the smile when he turns around just priceless

[GonzoLom]

Great video. We (grandparents & parents) are giving our 10-year-old grandson, Ties, this exact same experience on Cessna 172 Sp for a Christmas present. He is very excited and is very knowledgeable about aviation and is so confident that he will know how to fly the plane, how to check the controls-- I'm hoping the pilot will be assertive, because Ties actually thinks he can "do it all by himself." We'll see. I'm thrilled as much as he is--I'll probably accompany him -- "maiden" flight. POPO

[nilspronk]

hoe veel kost het om zo'n vlucht te maken? gr nils

[11esky]

thumbs up if u wish to have a cessna

[HENDRIKVENTER1]

Ok...but can he see over the dash?

[annagilda1]

Come on guys, all of you saying that he's not a real pilot, sure. Fair enough, but NO ONE is on their first lesson!!! I'd like to see you do better on your first lesson, whatever your age!!! The guy is 10, and he's learning to fly!!! To me, that's pretty epic!!

Goed gedaan man!!! Waar was dit, Groningen?

[rodrigosousabh]

if u were a real pilot you wouldnt listen to high school musical

[KitCloudkickerUK]

@rodrigosousabh Definitely a thumbs up for that comment.

[TheMitterNatch]

lol high school musical music sucks...

[michaeljam100]

why pilots wearing sun glass?

[JonathanKostlin]

@michaeljam100 to take precautions against the gleaming sun. In another words, to have a better sight.

[lvjjv]

yo vole por primera vez solo cuando tenia 11 años y ahora tengo 16 y estoy volando un turbo kruk. vean en mi canal -¡¡

[giuchin]

Congrats, i took my first flight in a cessna when i was 10 for young eagles. i am 12 now and i still fly with them every other month.

[ek7opa]

i can fly to (i'm 12)

[210482fmj]

age don't mean shit its knowlegde that counts. laws limit our quality of life for children and restrict what they can do. a 10 year old could easily land and take off an aircraft with training. there is no real reason a 10 year old can not drive a motor vehicle legally if the were properly trained

[scotplane]

@210482fmj It's a load of bull aint it? What we should do is train him to fly that big KLM in the background :D

[spfinc1212]

:3 ive loved airplanes since i was a kid and flew a DHC-2 beaver at 13 and held her steady at 1500 feet and flew a 7AC and held her steady at 2000 feet... im now currently volunteering my days at a municipal airport and all my hours are going towards college tuition and avionic engineering and i want to enlist in the air force after college and i plan on ROTC programs does anyone know how far i will get with that kinda back up?

[pspcraft]

Congratulations ! ! ! Wonderful ! ! ! My son Brian started at 10 also, solo on his 16th birthday. Check out "cessna 16 solo". He was featured on our local news in Palm Springs, CA. Nice meeting you.

[BrickBuilder15]

Now I feel bad. I thought I was young when I started at 13!

[mozartgenetics]

This would be an amazing experience for anyone, however if he is flying at 10 then I cannot imagine what would keep his interest at 20. Maybe the chicks.

[BoozJames]

I might be more amazed if he's flying on his own and if he is flying a fighter jet

[truthseekers666]

Getting a go of the control doesnt make you a pilot, someone els is in command of the aircraft - he needs to start it, do his checks and take off and land to be considered a pilot. Still I wish I was flying at his age.

[gordonquinn]

@truthseekers666 seriously? are you the kind of guy who takes candy from a kid and tells them to watch their carbs?

[IMACOOLBOY12]

@truthseekers666 very good point

[denhou1974]

Good job!

[sniperkid4361]

theres a red button push it!

[hickinbotham1]

random 747 at the airport

[K3nnyize]

Want to do the same here one of my favorites dreams

[Boeing737Movies]

Echt leuk gemaakt man! ik heb dat ook gedaan!

[bhs117]

oh man ur so lucky :) i usually fly an airbus a321 but on fsx X_X :) hehe 

[daniel223543]

Oh man, you are so lucky.

[personthewat]

1 person realizes the high school musical blows? anyways so lucky to fly at 10 wish i could :\

[bmjake]

i love the song transition as the engine revs for take off. very nice video. awesome stuff. good luck with the flying kid! (what language was spoken in the video?)

[TheJeffreyklm]

HAHA! ik heb met dezelfde instructeur gevlogen!!

[Mrpb0909]

@TheJeffreyklm echt!? hahah lol!

[747Pilot100]

NO NO NO I am 10 and 7 months ago I landed and took off a 1 hour flight in a 172 vist my channel

[janrusgo]

@glazuna shit happens...hehe meni se pa zdi da bi to lahko bil neke vrste "tecajnik"

[janrusgo]

@glazuna poleg tega pa, fantek bolj sedi na pilotovem mestu kot pilotira letalo...

sam sem cessno 172 tako "drzal" v zraku pri osmih letih

[bmjake]

@glazuna im sure the father or lisenced pilot was right there in the event something happened. there is no "safe" flying, so dangerous isn't the word. it's probably more safe with the kid flying, he'll be very causious and nervous, a it's the relaxed experienced pilot that makes the mistakes..

[glazuna]

@bmjake no, the one who is nervous is distracted, so when something happens he forgots everything what father said to him

[Mrpb0909]

@glazuna what kind of country do YOU life in?

[glazuna]

@Mrpb0909 Slovenia

[CarlJohnsonARG]

I have 15 years old and im flying an PW 5 solo :|

[MrNerd314159]

I was also 10 for my first lesson, and I flew most of the time

[tuttotin666]

nice



[90Blakey]

wow nice. i was trying to break that record. but poor me hasn't got leasson yet and i am only 13 xD

[MrNerd314159]

@90Blakey all you need is ~150$ and a free weekend (if you live near civilization)

If you want, Im currently working on a series on how to fly using FSX, but I only have 1 video up

[90Blakey]

@MrNerd314159 i know actully i found an airport near where i live that charges 75$ an hour

[hawk45653]

father i a pilot thts why

[killmuster]

I'm 13

I went to a real cockpit more than 100 times

its so easy to fly a C172 , but for a little boy on 10 , I belive he was confused on his first time , landing is the hardest thing

[DavidJames96]

He is Brilliant,

Great Video!!!!!!!!!!

[bedrantje]

vet cool wil ik ook wel

[lt0641]

hey man thats good, when i was 11, i flew a small plane quite similar actually except it was red and a twin engine, good vid and well put together. I really loved the take off it was awesome!

[flightguy1997]

[vipor3D]

[dahibhally]

[AustraliaNavy]

@dahibhally Do you know you can fly a aircraft as only as you can see over the dashbord

[bobistheman02]

Great video thats great that you get to fly at that age hahaha i loved how his mic was fallin down lol thats great loved it. Also how old do u have to be in the Netherlands to get ur licenses just wadering???

[EftelFan]

Hi,

This was just a tour/trip.. you need to get that. You need to be 16 or older to get your license or fly solo!

best regards,

Teun
