I give it a week before someone makes a flight simulator video that recreates this event with the audio synced.

My brother is a teacher. One of his high school students told him that he went to a Young Eagles day at a local airport. Young Eagles is a program to teach about general aviation to kids.

He asked the pilot if he could call the tower on the radio for permission to take off. It was a small airport so the pilot allowed it.

He nailed the direction word for word. The pilot asked how he knew that and he said he was an avid flight simulator player. She told him to take the yoke and take off, which he did. She let him do the entire flight including the landing.

It was the first time he’d ever been in any plane.
