His flight lasted eight hours and eight minutes, during which he created the massive GTA VI design.The completed artwork featured the GTA 6 logo beneath a hovering helicopter, along with several Florida-inspired elements, including an alligator, palm trees, a sports car and a bikini-clad woman. For McDaniel, creating such artwork in the sky required more than simply following a shape. He had to carefully account for the aircraft’s performance, turns, altitude and location while planning the route in a way that allowed the flight to be completed safely.In a caption accompanying the project, McDaniel joked about the long wait behind the artwork: “I spent 8 hours drawing GTA 6 in the sky, but realistically, I’ve been waiting 11 years for this moment.” Watch the video here:The unusual tribute quickly attracted plenty of appreciation online. One viewer jokingly pointed out that the eight-hour flight appeared to have been matched by another eight hours of planning.Another said the flight was so impressive that even their child thought it was the coolest thing ever.A third user recalled seeing the flight path midway through the journey and immediately guessing that it was being used to draw GTA 6. The person went a step further, saying the pilot deserved a place in the game himself.- Ends
