From "lift boy" to cargo pilot: Joey Diebolder aka Captain Joe started his career as a drop pilot for skydivers in the Allgäu region.

He transported up to 35 "loads", i.e. drop groups, per day to an altitude of 4000 meters. "Once I even managed to get back down faster than my dropped group," says the current first officer on the 747 fleet of cargo airline Cargolux.

In addition to his piloting duties, he runs one of the most successful aviation channels on YouTube under @Captain Joe. Every week, up to 1.4 million viewers follow him as he explains - in a generally understandable style - the background of flying in an honest and authentic way.

"When you come out of flight school, you're not flying the plane. The plane flies you."

Look forward to the second part of a very honest and entertaining conversation Joey Diebolder gave us in Munich.

Always blue skies!
