Some people fly for business and other people fly for pleasure, but you rarely ever hear of somebody who flies by accident. It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes, someone may find themselves in an unusual situation, and that is what happened to a cat.
If there’s one thing we know about cats, it’s the fact that they love to take naps. If they find a comfortable place where they can stretch out in the sun, they will soon be asleep and they don’t want anyone to disturb them.
The cat in the video below was also looking for a place to take a nap and she just happened to find one. It happened on June 21, 2015, and the video has been circulating online since then and making people smile.
Unfortunately for this little critter, she found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. She did find a spot in the sun, but it just so happened to be on the wing of an ultralight open-air SkyRanger airplane.
By the time the feline came to her senses, it was already too late. They were up in the sky and suddenly, you see the feline peeking out from the edge of the wing and looking into the aircraft.
The pilot did do a pre-flight check before a passenger was loaded on board and they took off for a 20-minute flight. I guess checking the wings for an unexpected passenger is not part of that pre-flight check list of things to look for.
The feline is known to those in the area because she has been adopted by the flight club as a mascot. That flight club said that she is often napping on the wings of planes but it is the first time they know of that she has been in the air.
Interestingly, the woman in the airplane was also flying for the first time. She got more than she was expecting when she looked to her left and saw the cat looking down at her.
After they saw the kitty in the plane, they slowed down and headed back to the landing strip. After they got on the ground, you could see that the humans were amused but I think the cat was just happy to be back on land again.
This is going to be a video unlike any that you’ve seen before, but it’s well worth watching.
