Hangar rat to groundbreaking pilot: Lukasz Czepiela has spent 10% of his life flying planes

You’ve probably seen the viral clip - Lukasz Czepiela landing a plane on a Dubai helipad, a flight that’s racked up over a billion views. But how did he get there?

In this episode, the Polish pilot shares with Becky his inspiring journey from working 14-hour days and juggling multiple jobs to fund his flying lessons, to moving to the UK as an au pair to chase his dream.

Lukasz also reveals why he talks to his planes after landing, his dream of driving an F1 car, and just how many hours he’s spent in the cockpit.

He’s flown some of the fastest and most agile planes in the sky, but what’s the ultimate machine he’d love to take control of? None other than Tom Cruise’s P-51 Mustang.

Now that’s something we’d love to see!
