Pilot Uses GPS Tracker To Draw Picture Of A Plane... With A Plane

 

Using GPS trackers to create pictures of running routes is over.

 

A pilot in Germany has taken the "drawing by tracking your movement" concept to the next level by doodling an image of an airplane with... an airplane. 

 

The unidentified pilot took off near Hamburg on Saturday, performed some agile aerobatics, then landed on the North Sea archipelago of Heligoland.

 

The Robin DR400/180 Regent aircraft's route was recorded on live flight tracking website Flightradar24. On the return flight to the German mainland, the plane appeared to script some letters, which the site's blog believes were the pilot's initials:

 
 

The stunt came three days after the same airplane drew a heart, perhaps as a test run:

 
 

"Not every flight is about getting from point A to B," Flightradar24 wrote on its blog. "Some flights are about the journey -- or in this case, about the image."

Using GPS apps to "draw" is not new, although doing it from the sky is still considered somewhat of a specialty. 

 

In 2014, San Francisco-based copywriter and comedian Claire Wyckoff wowed the web with her phallic-inspired running drawings:

Gene Lu, meanwhile, mapped out Star Wars images on his regular runs:

 

 

BEEP•BOO•BOP•BEEP•BOP NYC, your turn. Turn-by-turn directions bit.ly/R2D2_NYC. I recommend doing this early in the AM to avoid the foot and car traffic. Also, don't expect your run route to turn out perfect. Running under scaffoldings and bridges tends to break up your GPS signal. Finally, this run marks the last run of the Run Wars series. Thanks again guys for riding along on this epic journey. The support has been tremendous. And as always, may the Force be with you! #r2d2 #runwars #werunnyc #starwars #nikeplus

And a man in England even proposed to his girlfriend with a little help from his GPS tracking app.
