And every time I fly I have the same joy in my eyes!! ... Really nice footage!! ... Take care and stay healthy!! ... All the best from Germany!!

    A friend of mine started taking flying lessons many years ago and used to tell me about how fun it was. He kept telling me I needed to go with him one day and check it out. I always told him I didn't want to go or had something else to do because I really didn't have any interest in it. Then one day I ran out of excuses and went with him. I took the $20 Cessna introductory flight that lasted 30 minutes where I got to fly the plane a little bit.
    Well, that was it. I was absolutely and utterly hooked. My friend eventually gave up the lessons as he became interested in other things, but I kept them up and for years I continued to fly all kinds of planes, including twin engines. I flew freight across Texas at night and that sometimes involved flying through some of the worst weather Texas has to offer. It was scary and exhilarating at the same time, and something few things in life can replicate emotionally.
    Now it's been over 35 years since then and to this day, when I am in a huge commercial aircraft and leaving the ground, I still get a smile on my face thinking of that first flight, and how amazing it is to fly. Loved the video and loved your enthusiasm. I hope you never lose that.

    This is the kind of content I like. It's real, and genuine. No clickbait or faking it.. We could tell you were for real excited. You weren't trying to play it cool at all and that's awesome to watch the real emotion. This is my new favorite channel on UA-cam right now and I think it'll be hard to top.. Some channels content is just so stretched out and watered down now I just dont feel it like I want. Now we just need some merch so I can spread the word lol

    Nice three point landing, if you watched the rudder peddles he always had his feet moving. If you want to watch a duster in action look up Scott Palmer, he’s from Idaho and does this for a living and is a great STOL pilot, check him out. Happy you had a great time, think there might be some flying lessons coming soon 😊.

    Flying yourself is awesome - sadly September 2001 put an end to my flight training. Because the FAA grounded everyone for 6 months, both flight schools at my local airfield went bankrupt and out of business. I'm kind of too old to get back into it. Still remember the first time I went up solo - it was a blast!!

    Thi video Laura, made my Saturday today! I'm a small plane commercial pilot from down here in New Zealand, where I learnt to fly way back in 1990 when I was your age, but haven't been able to afford to get flying again for over 12 years now. I've also flown the Piper Super Cub, and this one is gorgeous!
    Your infectious smile the "width of the US" just brightens my day everyday. I love watching your farming videos with Grant. Your friends property is a "dream place" for me as I search about the internet and the US looking for home airfields and hangars just like this! - Like your shed full of JD tractors and implements, I dream of having a home airstrip and hangar with at least 3 planes inside! - Dreams are free, and mine are especially cost effective, but I suspect I'll have to keep doing my present day job without airplanes sadly...

    @jeffreyhill8040 3 роки тому

    A natural combination - farmers and Ag pilots. It has been that way a long time. In the 1960's, fifty-some-odd years ago, a friend and I were out wandering in my family's wheat field in Eastern Washington state. It was fall, so the crops were all harvested. A plane came over and circled us, then landed on a long, smooth ridgetop in that field. It was one of the local spray pilots in a personal plane, about like the Carbon Cub you flew in. He was looking for my friends' Dad, who was off plowing another field a few miles away. The pilot had us hop in the back seat of his plane and took us up to show him where Les's Dad was working.
    I took flight lessons when I was 17 and flew ultralight aircraft around the farms in the early 1980's. I hope you do get the chance to do a lot more flying, young lady! There is nothing like observing your fields from the sky. Do it safely and with dedication, though. We know you'll do well at it if you want to!

    a Thousand upvotes for you today! being a pilot myself and to see you getting to go in a Super Cub and talk about it is fantastic! What an experience and what a great pilot to go up with. One flight usually sparks your interest in training to get your license... I'm also looking forward to Laura Flies!

    I am a retired corporate/commercial pilot.
    I was a demonstration pilot for Cessna A/C Company turboprops and flew many corporate jets over the course of my career.
    The plane you flew is Piper Super Cub, which is the spin off of the J3 Cub.
    I’ve flown it too and absolutely loved how it handled.
    Hopefully your introductory flight “planted a seed” in your head and you’re go on to get your pilot tickets.

Thanks for sharing your joy, that propeller under the crop duster is an APU, we call them rat pumps, that runs a lot of the auxiliary spray equipment on the plane. Grant's a lucky fella, Thanks again

    This video was made before I started following Laura Farms but it was really fun! I've had a pilot's license since 1988 and it was a total riot watching Laura's pilot doing 3 of the things my own instructors told me never to do...flying below 500 feet without any intention of landing, maneuvering when close to objects you could hit, and then on approaching landing, touching down on the grass instead of the paved runway. As the plane descended I realized that it had two things the airplanes I fly don't have: tundra tires and a taildragger configuration, so landing on the grass was OK. And of course for a cropduster flying low must be old hat. The house adjoining the runway was another rare and wonderful element.
    Plus the video editing and camera angles were amazingly refined for someone who much have been just learning the art of videography.

      Don't be fooled its all marketing for the green! That is her talent "smiling". Think about it she constantly smiles into the camera..there's no one there to smile at. How many human beings go around smiling for no reason. Ahh but in her case she has a reason. To sucker an audience in which translates into her income increasing, There is another girl on YT doing this same thing and last I read she's now a millionaire. I liked her too at the beginning till I realized what she's doing. Actually after my rant here I'm going to block her channel from popping up as recommended. My reason for bitching about this is simple, two things I don't like is BS and phony shit.
