THE UNQUALIFIED SKIES — Unbelievable footage showing a female passenger at the controls of a plane during a scheduled flight has really taken off in good old Mother Russia. <br />According to the Siberian Times, video appearing to show a woman flying the aircraft from the co-pilot's seat was sent to a Russian news website. <br />In the video, the pilot's voice can be heard giving instructions to Maverick, who is thought to be in her late 20s with zero flying credentials. <br /><br />Russian reports say the incident occurred on a Russian airlines IrAero flight aboard an Antonov-24 from Yakutsk to Batagay. <br />The flight occurred on August 31, but the video has only recently emerged. <br />Investigators will probably spend decades piecing together how this footage made its way public. <br />It is most likely unrelated to the pictures and video of the flight on Anna's IG with the captions "This is unbelievably cool" and "Thank you!"<br />Strangely the account has mysteriously been deleted. <br />According to Russian news, the pilot involved in the Hot Shots incident is Kirill S. <br />IrAero airlines told Russian media that it is now investigating. A spokesman for the company said, "there are doubts that these materials have anything to do with our airline's activities in providing passengers transportation."
