Amazing experience! Been a lifelong dream to pilot a giant robot, and that just came true a few minutes ago. I can’t wait to be back in a few months to experience piloting Ingram again (and perhaps the other one too)

It's was surreal to sit on Ingram, hope the new TV show next year will be good as the original one!
