Let the kids fly the plane

Does anybody know which episode it is
The episode that was set in the Soviet Union
The pilot and copilot were related and they let the kids up in the cockpit.
I think it was a fairly new big plane
They were pretending to fly the plane but apparently bumping the steering colum took it partially off auto pilot.
To think all those people died for such a stupid reason.

Please do not drink and drive!

Season 3 Episode 10 "Kid in the Cockpit" - a mind-boggling error in judgment by the pilot.

This incident is one of the classics, IMO, of this series (and of all aviation tragedy, come to think of it). No other disaster is quite like it.

I agree it is a classic. I think because it is perfectly working airplane and it is unbelievable what the did.
