"If she’s the co-pilot of love... who’s flying the plane?!"—Netizens joke as pilot proposes mid-flight

Love is literally taking to the skies—in a rather audacious move, to say the least. With this stunt that would make even the most cynical rom-com movie green with envy, a pilot took high-flying romance to a whole new level. The captain made a public declaration of love to the woman sitting in first class. Well, forget about roses; he brought altitude to the love game.

This pilot proposed to his girlfriend midflight as the plane cruised at 30,000 feet. Hold up—while the pilot is up in the air declaring his undying love, who was actually flying the plane? Is there a co-pilot sitting back calmly sipping coffee and waiting for the "Will you marry me?" moment to wrap up?

Or did the passengers on board get an unexpected crash course in autopilot 101? In either case, it's got to be hilarious nervous chuckles from the cabin crew, thinking they should have had a plan B for this "love turbulence."

And what if there was a totally cool in-flight announcement like that? "Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts and get ready for a dramatic marriage proposal over the skies 30,000 feet up while we remain smoothly flying."

Would the passengers collectively say "Awww" or rather ask, "Uhm, can we go and know at least a little bit about getting down safely before making this really interesting flight with lots of turbulence around?"

A netizen took to the internet to pose an interesting question,

"if I'm requesting your hand in marriage, and you're my co-pilot of love and life....then who's flying the plane????"

Of course, the internet had its way with this since nothing gets people talking like a mid-flight marriage proposal, especially when that proposal is practically above and beyond.

Some are swooning with all their might, others question how this is even possible, and some just hope the proposal was as smooth as the flight. Either way, it's now on to the reaction videos, and the world knows it's about to get wild out there. Let's dive into what fans have to say!

Let us take a look at what the masses said!

Netizens have reacted as the pilot proposed mid-flight

Someone (@WebGirl765) commented:

"Mid flight? Also, lame way to propose."

Another one (@cxshbxnny) commented:

"This is cute and all, but I hope he didn’t forget the autopilot button :O"

A netizen (@maldita_meg) commented:

"Imagine you're a passenger, and she refuses"

A folk (@CiciiLovesYou) commented:

"Hopefully, the passengers are enjoying the turbulence of romance"

A user (@Shiroktsne) wrote:

"This is probably the worst time to be pulling a stunt like this, especially after all these plane crash accidents"

Another user (@cutietoryx) commented:

"imagine if she told him no in a rude and unruly manner, I definitely wouldn't want to be amongst the passengers on that plane"

Another netizen (@AnyaLacey) commented:

"Imagine she says no and he has to land the plane in complete silence"

Someone (@SilvaniKillian) wrote:

"The ACTUAL copilot I guess xD"

A user hilariously (@Z0mbGG) commented:

"tiktok is flying the plane"

Of course, this proposal has become the new high watermark for big gestures. Candlelit dinners? Skywriting? Forget about it. Now it's all about popping the question at 30,000 feet, with everyone around you feigning a lack of interest in your overheard conversation.

This is that kind of romance that will make you believe in love. and possibly check who's in the cockpit before your next flight. Whether it was a well-timed grand gesture or just an impulsive moment at cruising altitude, one thing's for sure: it's definitely a love story going places. Now, if only we could all experience that level of heavenly romance.
