During the conversation, it turned out that our son's classmate had been thinking about becoming a pilot for a while. That was a good reason to invite her to join us in the cockpit and fly together. Julia did a very good job. It's amazing to see how steep the learning curve is, especially for young people. We enjoyed flying together from Frankfurt to Düsseldorf. Disclaimer: As we are both native German speakers, we would have found it strange to speak English. It was primarily about having fun and not about YouTube fame. I'll pay more attention to the sound in the next video... I promise!
