New Pilot's Girlfriend And Mom Surprise Him On First-Ever Commercial Flight

A pilot on his first-ever commercial flight fought back tears of pride when his girlfriend and mom surprised him in the cockpit after landing having secretly flown with him. Over the past few years, Mason Kendrick, 30, from Salt Lake City, Utah, had put in countless hours of training and build flights, with his girlfriend, Hannah Bentley, 26, supporting him every step of the way. When Mason added a note into their shared calendar, saying he was set to pilot his first commercial flight, Hannah immediately knew she had to be there to support and congratulate him. She called Mason's mom, Michelle, and said she was thinking of doing "something crazy" and booking a seat on the plane. Michelle was all in, too, and the pair purchased standby tickets in the hope that they would make it onto the flight.
