A newly qualified pilot took his girlfriend up in the plane and proposed her at 8,500 feet.
24-year-old Cody Benham proposed his 20-year-old girlfriend Brielle Moon while flying across Northern Utah.
Cody received his Private Pilot Certificate earlier this year and took his girlfriend up in a plane. Brielle was obviously a little nervous.
Cody then told Brielle that he was going to show her a 45 degree turn. Cody then asked Brielle if she trusts him. She replied: “I trusted you before”.
He then pulled out an engagement ring and proposed her. Brielle couldn’t hold back her tears and said: “Yes”.
Cody later told DailyMail: “About a month ago I was discussing how I should propose to Brielle with my roommate. I wanted to do something original, creative, sentimental, and be sure Brielle wouldn’t be suspicious about the activity leading up to it.”
“I jokingly talked about taking her for a flight and proposing. Over the next few weeks, that idea stayed on my mind, and the more I thought I of it, the more I realized it was the idea I wanted.”
“I then had to decide how I would ‘pop the question’ in the middle of the flight. I decided I would show her somewhat scary maneuvers in the airplane, in this case, ‘steep turns’ or 45 degree turns.”
“Then I would ask her if she trusted me if she loved me, and then I would ask her to marry me.”
Brielle said: “Initially I was scared and concerned as I think the beginning of the video shows – but once we got off the ground it wasn’t so bad until he was trying to show me some tricks”.
“I was so shocked when he proposed I seriously didn’t believe him. It still doesn’t feel real that I get to marry my very best friend.”
The video has now gone viral and everyone is absolutely loving the video of Cody proposing Brielle at 8,500 feet.
