i think there were 2 yokes. And at one point Nate said something like "I'm licensed to be a flight student". No real clue what that actually means, but i'm guessing that maybe he passed whatever he needs to do to be allowed to take some control during an actual flight? My father in law was a commercial airline captain before he retired, so i'll have to ask my husband if he knows what that means HAHA)I haven't researched this yet but having a random, non-licensed or student pilot "flying" an airplane is probably frowned upon by the FAA. I know Nate may not have been actually flying the airplane (the actual pilot probably was) but he was in the pilot's seat and the yoke I think was only in the pilot's seat?
The friend Nate was with owns a flight school, so i doubt he would let Nate jeopardize his business by putting something out on YouTube that isn't above board.
