Wait this is real?

my brain is very mature
When the pilot instructor said “you know what to do”, he meant for the trainee to go into a controlled dive along side him (leading to him returning to the plane in a most spectacular stunt). Way to drop the ball.
This sounds like the world’s worst murder cover up story
or the most convincing fake your death method
New trust fall just dropped
Wholesome trust moment.
Guy had to jump to get away from her yappin’. My wife’s the same way about drinking fermented wheat and watching sports ball. Am I right fellas?

Rasczak vibes.
Watched this movie again recently, so good.
We watched it last night for international family movie night. Always a blast.
“Would you like to know more?”
“I’D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!”
Wait, wrong Verhoeven movie

This is why I couldn’t teach.
close enough
welcome back db coop-
ahShe wasn’t really a student?
She already had a private pilot license but was required to build up flying hours with an instructor it seems. The article still refers to her as a student.
I admire her skills, no doubt about that. But some papers exaggerate a teenyweeny bit to sell copies, I’m sure the pilot was cool about the landing- the trauma of somebody committing suicide like that in front of you is terrible.
The world is never the same once you learn, with your whole soul, that genuinely anyone at any time might just look at you, give a forced smile, and fucking jump into the blender. The world is both much louder and much more quiet now.
This is usually what I would think of when I hear student pilot. Most of them just need enough hours and know how to fly just fine.
A student pilots license can be acquired by going to the local airport and asking for one. There is no testing or requirements to get one, just an application. Once your instructor is confident you can fly they can endorse you to fly solo.
In the US you only need 40 hours of flight time to get a Private Pilot license. To fly commercially for a job, you need 190 or 250 depending on if you go to a college flight program.
Apart of those 40 hours of flying, 10 of them must be solo hours. So this pilot has absolutely landed by themselves before.
Its always surprising to learn that a hair stylist in New York state is required to take a 300 hour course, but a commercial pilot needs less flight hours.
