Accidental Flying Cat



Stowaways come in all shapes and sizes. French pilot Romain Jantot did his preflight checklist, but did not specifically scan for flying cats before he took a woman for a ride in his ultralight plane in Kourou, French Guiana. The cat was well hidden, but apparently woke up during the flight and slowly approached the pilot to ask something like, “What the hell is going on?” (Que se passe-t-il? Mettez-moi en bas à droite en ce moment! Es-tu fou?)

Jantot’s face when he notices the cat is priceless. As is the cat’s. The plane immediately heads back to the runway to offload the kitty. Jantot said, “The cat is doing well, she is still our mascot.” But she probably won’t be napping on the wing again anytime soon. (via reddit)

No problem cats always land on their feet.

I think it's funny that he decided not to mention the cat to his passenger. Just hoped she wouldn't notice. There was the danger of the cat freaking out. Scary.

Oh, the cat was already freaked out.
