Sedalia Dave Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Well at least he was honest. Australian pilot spells out ‘I’m Bored’ during test flight Quote An Australian pilot, unenthused with the task of a 2-hour test flight, spelled out the words, “I’m Bored,” on his tracking device Tuesday morning. The message, which was reportedly “dozens of kilometers” long and flown over Adelaide in South Australia, was seen by aviation followers, but not visible to anyone on the ground. FlightAware captured an image of the pilot’s message which was “drawn” between approximately 9:00 a.m. and noon. The pilot, who has only been identified in local media as a “young pilot,” was reportedly tasked with testing out a single propeller aircraft at a single speed for two hours in preparation for its sale, Adelaide Now reported. Flight Training Adelaide director Pine Pienaar said it’s unlikely the pilot will be disciplined for his actions and that “apparently he got bored.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm impressed by his skywriting ability. I don't think he should be disciplined for the writing, but what about those two penises he drew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Another pilot with "skills", at least as far as sky writing is concerned. Not too sure about his piloting abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A/C tail # is VH-EQK. and the date of the flight was 18 Feb 2019 You can see the actual flight track at FlightAware.com Here is one done by GulfStream during the initial flight testing of the G-VI a couple of years ago.
