Newsroom Updated 1 min read
What were you doing when you were six years old?
Well, Adam Mohammed Amer is not your everyday average 6 years old.
This boy knows more about planes.
In 2017, he impressed the Etihad Airways Captain Samer Yakhlef by how much he knew about the planes. Adam's proud dad Mohammed Amer said Adam has always been intrigued by toy planes, ever since the tender age of one. He said: '[Adam] would hold a paper or a kitchen mop and pretend it's a plane flying. When he enters a toy shop, the first thing that gets his attention are airplanes. 'He has always had a thirst for knowledge and he questions everything. We knew if we wanted to develop his character, then we should give him the space to ask and learn.' Adam has a 'thirst for knowledge' and is constantly reading up about all things aviation, he continued. Interestingly, after the first video , he was invited to fly a plane.
Well, not an actual plane but a simulator, which is normally used to train pilots and he did impress.
Here is the video:
