Thanks for posting. But does anyone know anything about the instructor in this film? Was he really an instructor, or an actor playing an instructor? It's difficult to say since the close ups were filmed so that you can't tell if they really are flying, or whether they're on the ground.

All ground shots, notice the shine of the studio lights. Likely a actor, has excellent acting skills.
