For those in a hurry, skip to 1:38.



Alternate ending: she divorces him after he gets furloughed from his first regional.

Does any woman want to get proposed to in an airplane?

Want to? Who knows.
Loved it? Yes.

If he joins a regional, he'll lose that plane.

I thought it was very creative. Good on him for finding such a calm, collected, and gorgeous lady.

Brilliant!

If possible - having family/friends at the airport after landing for a little party would have been a nice final foot stomp on the occassion!
Nice job Ryan!

Well, I guess it proved she's a keeper, she didn't smack him upside the head for faking an emerency.

Every time I've tried something slick for a girl in an aircraft it's gone something more like this classic clip:
Zero gravity puke - YouTube
Oh yeah

Very unique proposal. I wonder if there are any other pilots that proposed on an airplane while flying?

Was he just doing a power-on stall? You can see the aircraft buffeting a bit, and it doesn't look like its due to heavy control inputs. I suppose that could simulate to a point the 'loss of control surfaces'...
