@philipprudolf8302 10 ай бұрын

I'm really questioning the narrative here. There was a German KZfaqr who got to fly with an Eurofighter from the German military and he had to go through a full day of medical and physical testing + countless safety instructions and so on, to be even allowed inside of the plane. So I guess that can't be that spontaneous.. or they just don't give a f?
