Felon at Dubai Airshow
The Dubai Airshow is one of the most unique aviation experiences I have ever had the pleasure of attending. While dropping off F-16s there in 2017, I was able to meet/watch both the Russian and Chinese fighter demo teams and also watch the Su-35 demo live.

Driving a submarine is pretty much like flying an airplane!
I agree! When my CFI would put me under the hood, I could keep altitude and course locked on! Just like on a submarine. Cool article below:
