Pilot Skywrites 'I'm Bored' During Routine Test Flight Over England-Wales Border
A Ravenair pilot in his 20s traced the phrase "I'm bored" in the sky during a two-hour test flight over the England-Wales border. The flight, conducted in a Piper Tomahawk after maintenance work replacing a cylinder, involved careful maneuvers at about 1,100 feet altitude and speeds under 100 knots. Ravenair's operations manager confirmed the flight was successful and said the pilot, likely bored during the routine test, demonstrated notable flying skill without facing disciplinary action.
