my first solo flight ✈︎ C-172 | first aviation academy

FIRST SOLO FLIGHT ✈︎ 02.07.2023 | Subic Bay, Philippines

Hey, luvs! Yes, this is a very long overdue vlog! 🤪

I had my first solo last February 2023, but I just had the energy and time to edit this video as a remembrance from one of the best memories I had this year. Life hasn't been easy this year that I had to pause my flying endeavors, but I wanted to focus more on treasuring the opportunities and blessings I got this 2023; hence, this pahabol edit 🤪
