Student pilots have a tradition called the
‘dollar ride.
After a student’s first flight he or she gives the pilot a
dollar.
The name goes back to the county fairs of the early 1900s
when barnstormer pilots charged ‘a buck a ride’ to customers who sat up
in the front of the airplane and acted like they were doing the flying.

It's become a little more fancy.
These days you have to give the IP your dollar in the most creative way possible.
Jake took this challenge very seriously.
His instructor pilot is pretty much obsessed with the following Youtube video,
so Jake decided to be extra creative and get his fellow classmate to
perform this in the middle of their morning briefing.
