She's blind. I'm blindfolded. We're going to fly a plane.

The strangest part of all this for me was after we landed: I took the blindfold off, and the plane cockpit looked absolutely nothing like I'd assumed. It felt like I'd suddenly teleported!

Don't try this at home: - It is very dangerous - Good luck fitting a plane inside of your house.

Honestly this was such an amazing experience! Thank you Tom, your team and the lovely people at Aerobility for having me! It may have been slightly scary but it was so fun!

Honestly Tom is the first Youtuber I've seen where his "Second" channel isn't some low budget, low effort content, but some of the most interesting, entertaining and diverse videos on the platform

On the ground: Bird chirpping, gentle breeze. In the air: Hysterical shrieking. ...sounds about right.

"I decided over time that the interest outweighted the fear, so I came here to conquer that phobia." I have to say that is one of the best lines I've heard in quite some time.

Thank you so much for coming down Tom and Lucy. Definitely one of my more interesting days at work!

It was great to work with you and your team on captions and audio description for this video! This one was a lot of fun!

What a cool thing this Aerobility is. Also "he qualified about an hour ago" was jarringly funny.

Ooh, I never knew YouTube supported alternate audio tracks until this! Of course it's Tom Scott who makes me aware of that.

It's so funny having the blind person tell the blindfolded person how good they were doing while the instructor is like, we just turned 120 degrees and you had no idea.

"How many cars?" "A lot" That (unintentional?) dad joke is so right for the mood in the rest of the video up until the 7 minute mark (where I am right now). Laughed so much, and I needed that badly. So thanks to everyone involved.

Harvey's a riot! Usually when you have a "company representative" chatting with people in videos, it feels like they're reading off a script, but Harvey here... Had me giggling in a minute. He wasn't kidding about that whole being laid back part :)

Man, Harvey is a hilarious and really interesting guy. The combo of wanting to become a pilot but at the same time being scared of flying is like something that could make for a pretty awesome feel-good kind of movie.

When learning to fly, you are taught to NOT trust your physical sense when you are unable to see and instead to just look at your instruments. "I thought we were going down, you thought we were going up!" is a perfect demonstration of that :).

I am visually impaired, I cannot drive due to it. I have always wanted to fly a plane since “flying” one on my ZX Spectrum back into the early 80’s. I thought it would never happen. For my 40th Birthday I asked for a flying lesson from my family. Aerobility took me up in a PA-28 for an hour and I flew from their base at Blackbushe Airport (EGLK) down to Portsmouth and back. It was the best day of my life so far, apart from my wedding day! I am still flying planes on the PC today. No matter what your disability, if you want to fly a plane yourself contact them and they will do their very best to make it happen. After all, if you are disabled and can fly a plane, UCAN do anything! G-UCAN is the tail number of one of their planes.

Its cool that the guys from Aerobility let people with any disability experience this, regardless of whether youre blind, in a wheelchair or a youtuber.

Tom is more savvy at this YouTube thing than 99.99% of YouTubers I wonder what other features are hidden In it that YouTube should really advertise more

As a pilot, this really gives a good idea of what spatial disorientation looks like. Tom thinking he's turning left when he's in a right bank at 15:40. Great video, but it really shows the dangers of it!

Fun fact, the bit where Lucy inadvertently starts the plane going down and to the right without realizing it (or thinking shes turning left) is a great example of the risks relying on proprioception while flying without visual
