"Masters of the Air: Microsoft Flight Simulator Training and Episode 4 Recap"
The cast of Masters of the Air, including stars like Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan, received training on flying the B-17 Flying Fortress from military consultant Taigh Ramey, who had to teach them the basics of flight controls using a partial replica of the original B-17 flight deck. The actors also used Microsoft Flight Simulator for further study and were tested on their knowledge of the aircraft. The show invested in a live-action digital film set to create realistic flight scenes, providing an immersive experience for the actors. Masters of the Air is now available for streaming on Apple TV Plus.
