Don't be a dick, Captain - just fly the plane...

 

New York Post - That’s a ballsy move! A Lufthansa pilot allegedly upset over being forced to divert his flight from Catania flew the commercial plane in a penis-shaped pattern before landing in Malta.

Flight 306 took off from Frankfurt, Germany, on Friday and was bound for the Sicilian city until the plane was warned mid-flight that it could not land at the Fontanarossa airport, which was seeing reduced operations following a terminal fire in July.

The Lufthansa pilot, who has not been identified, allegedly grew irritated about having to stall the plane before being told the flight would need to fly south and land on the island of Malta.

Before leaving Catania’s airspace, the plane was spotted heading eastward toward the Sicilian coast and flying in such a way that the flight path created the shape of male genitalia, according to images recorded by air traffic website Flight Radar. 

 

The pattern took about 16 minutes to complete. The plane then headed back to Sicily and traveled south to its new destination.
