I think the "war-vet" was along for the ride. He was not the "safety pilot," which means pilot-in-command.

Then there must have been a third pilot not mentioned in the story, because an underage pilot must be accompanied by a qualified safety pilot, who has ultimate control of the aircraft at all times.

“Safety pilot” is the PIC?

What of an evaluator pilot. . .doesn’t he perform safety duties?

Just asking. . . .as there is, as far as I know, no “Safety Pilot” time you can log.
