Milkuri Gangavva, a farmer and YouTuber, recently went viral for taking her first flight at the age of 62. She rose to fame by featuring in ‘My Village Show’ that highlighted the lifestyle and culture of people living in rural Telangana.
While taking her first flight ever, Gangavva recorded her experience and shared it on Instagram. She could be seen taking her boarding pass, sitting by the window and being a little confused and excited at the same time throughout her journey.

Ms Gangavva could be seen taking her boarding pass and entering the plane in the first few bits of the video. She could be seen struggling with the seat belt at first and had to deal with ear blockage, a common occurrence due to air pressure when the flight takes off.
She seemed to have settled down when she decided to take a nap. The farmer could also be seen enjoying the scenery in the video. As soon as the flight landed, her happiness knew no bounds. She was filmed dancing near a car after her first flight at the age of 62.
Age Is Just A Number

While air travel these days is one of the most common modes of transport, it is still expensive and can be an exhilarating experience for a person who has never taken a flight. Due to the language barrier, many viewers could not understand what she was trying to say in the video but people are lauding her courage for fulfilling her dream and sharing it on social media to prove that age is just a number.
An Instagram user wrote, “Great job bro. I don’t understand your language, but you have done a great job. I am waiting for this day to take my mom on a flight.”
Another user commented, “Bro, I don’t understand Telugu, but I can observe the first feelings when I board the flight.”
