Well, the pilot of a D-EFHN recently illustrated \u2013 quite literally \u2013 that sometimes, it\u2019s not always about getting to where you\u2019re going, but it\u2019s about the journey itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">An unidentified pilot took to the sky near Hamburg in a privately owned plane and landed on the North Sea of archipelago of Heligoland. During his journey, the pilot created some pretty impressive aerobatics, the results of which were really quite stunning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">The flight route of the aircraft was recorded on the live flight tracking radar website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/data\/airplanes\/d-efhn\/#91270ae\"><span style=\"color: blue;\">Flightradar24.<\/span><\/a> The image that the piloted created with his plane was clearly illustrated on the radar as, you guess it \u2013 a plane!<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Pilots have used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">GPS tracking technology<\/span><\/a> to create images with their flight paths before, but never has one created an image like this. This pilot is the first to use his plane to create an image of a plane. It\u2019s a pretty impressive feat, if you think about it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">The image of the plane illustrates that the pilot has serious control over his vessel, that he is quite knowledgeable of coordinates and that he has a pretty keen eye for art. Who would have thought it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">On his return flight to the German mainland, the pilot used the same plane to script letters in the sky. Perhaps the letters are the pilot\u2019s initials and he was signing his masterpiece?<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">This bemusing stunt happened just three days after the same plane was used to draw a heart in the sky on GPS devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Using GPS apps to create images isn\u2019t new. In 2014, a copywriter and comedian located in San Francisco used a GPS app to create a phallic image while she ran. Another runner used a GPS app to create an image of R2D2, the Star Wars robot, while he was running in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Though this GPS tracking art isn\u2019t a new idea, it is relatively new to flying. After the recent GPS plane drawing using a plane, one can only imagine what other types of images pilots will create on their GPS apps when they take to the sky. Talk about taking art to a whole new level!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When most people think of flying, they think of getting from point departure point \u201cA\u201d to their point arrival point \u201cB\u201d..
