Pilot Romain Jantot said it was “a standard flight … until …” a confused black-and-white cat crawled out of the wing of his ultralight, to peek into the cockpit. The cat is the mascot at his airport, Jantot said, and apparently had been doing some exploring. “I still don’t know if it got in after the preflight check, or if I missed it,” Jantot wrote at his YouTube site. The video has gone viral, with more than 7 million views and 4,000 comments since it was posted on Sunday.
After spotting the cat, Jantot quickly turned back and landed, and the cat was fine. Jantot and his passenger had launched for a flight in Kourou, French Guiana.
