Philip Diehl from Germany had no interest in programming – until he happened to get involved in machine development for flight simulators, that is. He spent the last six years programming and perfecting the Lama, despite never having sat in one before.
Philip Diehl is 39 years old. He was born in Germany’s East Frisian region on the North Sea and now lives in Stuttgart, and is a high school teacher whose subjects are math and music. All of which actually has very little to do with Air Zermatt.
