Flight instructor draws message over Liverpool skies

A test flight after maintenance turned into a two-hour loop in a Piper Tomahawk, with the route visible on Flightradar and the words readable in the pattern.

A young flight instructor drew the words “I am bored” in the sky over Liverpool on Saturday, turning a routine flight into an unusual public spectacle. The aircraft’s path was tracked on Flightradar, where the looping route stood out clearly.

The flight was carried out in a Ravenair Piper Tomahawk and was described as a test flight after maintenance. The instructor remained airborne for about two hours, and the attention came largely from the distinctive shape traced overhead.

According to Iltalehti, the flight itself was technically ordinary, but the message made it instantly notable. It also shows how easily public flight-tracking services can turn a local aircraft route into a widely noticed event.
