Dustin plays through the first lesson while discussing his disappointing 31st birthday, his dead-end job, and his failed childhood dream of becoming a commercial airline pilot. He aces the "Light Plane" test, but deliberately fails skydiving by not activating his parachute early enough, describing it as a metaphor for his life. He moves on to the second lesson, but begins intentionally failing most of the tests, while continuing to talk about his depressing life. He then activates the game's secret mission mode, flying an attack helicopter to an island with the objective of rescuing the instructors. He reaches the island and enjoys destroying the ground-based turrets, but is eventually hit by one of their attacks, causing the helicopter to crash into the ground.
