Yea, mostly I want to understand exactly what is happening, and how to even do a basic things like taxi over to the gas pumps and fill up the aircraft while the commercial pilot is busy.

I would need a commercial license to ever go shoot a real customer's project. That might happen as well, but not a priority right now.

At a former job we had a wall of airplane photos that pilots would come in and admire. One guy said he was super lucky in WW2. He said he got into the service just as the war was winding down. VE day was over, and VJ day was close, of course he did not know that. He said he was stationed in San Diego and they pointed to a P51 Mustang and told him to go get as much seat time as he wanted. Imagine getting to fly a super cool toy like that, with free gas and maintenance. He was still very young and immature. He said his favorite thing was to fly along the coast and look for sail boats. He would drop down low, and then pull up hard, and blow the boat over dumping the folks in the water. He was gone long before they could see any identifying marks. He said he felt guilty about it many years later but not at the time.
