She gifted him his first flight lesson. Now he’s proposing to her at 7500ft as a pilot.

After backing her boyfriend's dream of becoming a pilot, a woman got some uplifting news of her own.

When Elizabeth “Lilly” Keller gifted her boyfriend Adrian Cerrato his first flying lesson it was the beginning of a lifelong passion... in more ways than one. Lilly watched as Adrian fell in love with the airways and his confidence soared! Within two months he applied for flight school and was soon on his way to a career in aviation.

Adrian eventually became a professional flight instructor at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. But the high-flier never forgot who set him on the runway to success. And on a picture-perfect day with Lilly at his side, he repaid her love and support by popping the question at 7,500 feet!
