Bored pilot draws penis on FlightRadar with private plane

http://mashable.com/2015/03/13/flight-radar-penis/

"This is your pilot speaking. We're at a cruising altitude of 41,000 feet, and we're just going to be making penis shapes in the air today."

Aviation fans who on Thursday night happened to check FlightRadar24 — the popular site that gives users the ability to track the flight paths of planes around the world — might have noticed an odd pattern that a private plane made above Florida.

If you haven't noticed just yet, it greatly resembles a penis.

While it's unknown whether this particular pilot was aware that he or she was drawing a sky penis (come on, they had to know), it's definitely hilarious.






Hmmmm. I see Orlando on the map. Could it be a map of... Florida?

don't they have to file a plan with the air traffic controllers? Don't the air traffic controllers have to be able to know where a pilot plans to go and how s/he plans to get there? I can't imagine them sitting by idly watching this. It's like an episode in AIRPLANE!

Flight plans are only required under certain circumstances like flying into reduced visibility conditions and certain airspace areas like above 18,000'. You can fly coast to coast without ever talking to a controller.

Maybe when I worked with aviatian types at NTSB, though I was mostly in surface modes. I was partnered with a retired commercial TWA pilot on one aviation safety task force, and he told me a lot of stories as we traveled to some GADOs and FSDOs around the country.

Or maybe it came up in news panels an air crashes. I don't remember. But in any case, this ground pounder was aware of pitot tubes.

But it is unusual to signal ATC when they're getting frisky in the cockpit.

is if he was skywriting!

There's a guy (probably related to the TBN owner) who flies over the Disney area every weekend skywriting things like GOD = LOVE or JESUS =

Can see that crap from my house sometimes if he's on the northern edge of Disney property.
