A Flight Tracking Map Shows A Pilot Expertly Giving The Middle Finger to Washington StateWhat would you do if you were a pilot? Will you challenge yourself by going across the globe like those pilots of old, or would you try to do some sick stunts and maneuvers? Or maybe you're not interested in doing those. Perhaps you just want to do funny stuff in the air, like this unnamed pilot in Washington.On August 29, 9:15 AM PDT, the Piper Navajo aircraft with a tail number of N59906 took off. Some 7 hours later, at 4:09 PM, the plane finally returns. The pilot spent over thirty minutes drawing a giant middle finger. But what about his remaining time? Well, it seems he didn't find much use for it. He just spent it creating zig-zags on northern Whatcom County and British Columbia airspace. Talk about drawing giant scribbles in the air.The story was posted on Reddit, and Reddit users praised the man's commitment and great attention to detail, with one pointing out that he even drew the thumb nail. The Bellingham Herald, who first picked up the story, notes that the middle finger pointed towards Whatcom County. As to why he did such a thing, nobody knows.(Image Credit: FlightAware)#Washington #Funny #Pilots #Aircraft #Airplanes
