After years of deferring his childhood dream, UK-based Ghanaian, Kwesi Manny, has earned his private pilot licence.

Kwesi's childhood passion faced impediments due to the financial burden involved in taking lessons to become a qualified pilot.

This confined his dreams to flying simulator games until all changed in January 2020 when he and his wife finally made the big decision to put all their effort into helping him to pursue his childhood dream.

Though his mother had always known that he wanted to fly, he managed to keep it a secret when he started taking his flying lessons, planning to surprise her with the feat.

He said:

''My mum has always been my biggest supporter, and she knew I always wanted to be a pilot. What she didn’t know was I'd been learning how to fly and kept it as a surprise for her."

After bagging his private pilot licence, Manny decided to take his mother on his first flight as a late birthday surprise to her.

The man said:

''I couldn’t just tell her I'd earned my wings, I had to show her. And thankfully I caught her raw reactions on camera. Enjoy!''

The caption beginning the clip also read:

''I recently got my private pilot licence (PPL) and took my mum flying. I told her that I had booked a late flying experience as a late birthday present. Little did she know that I would be a pilot for the day.''

In the video sighted on his Instagram page, his mother expressed extreme concern about his ability to man the plane safely even after learning that he had obtained his pilot licence.

Manny also had a supervisor aboard the flight to ensure a safe journey, but his mother remained jittery, insisting that he returned to the airdrome because she was scared.
