And yet, still being reported by boingboing as the real story.

I’m guessing the joke nature of it is a lot clearer in the context of someone’s TikTok account, where you can see it’s made by someone who did other funny videos - and just the simple fact that they’re “appearing in a news story” in their channel would be a giveaway.
It’s like all the satirical news videos/articles people think are real because they were shared on Twitter and stripped of the whole context of the humor website. But they at least usually have some link to the site so you could figure it out, whereas Tiktok videos copied onto other sites don’t.

creatively edited video?
Except that time where they did make that up:

My dad is a private pilot. I’ve flown with him a number of times and he’s let me fly the plane here and there. It’s not easy. It’s very sensitive and there is a lot to remember. Landing is even harder, from my observations. If I were to have to do it, I am not totally sure I could make it happen without damaging the plane. I think I could walk away from the landing, but I’m not sure the plane would be usable after. haha

As a PPL myself, this is a good description. I would add that the pilot was almost certainly tuned into a channel where he was talking to someone – a tower or Oakland Center or whatever – so start with talking to them – they’ll get you over to 121.5.

I hope "I’m the Captain now"s can be besties. That dialogue was champion level stuff.

Yeah you did a neat job there of making me aware I might throw up before I get it all wired in, not bad.
