Pilot Draws Incredible GTA 6 Mural With His Flight Path

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

Benjamin McDaniel, known online as “The Pilot Picasso,” completed an eight‑hour aerial drawing of a Grand Theft Auto VI mural on November 5, flying a Cessna Skylane RG in a continuous line from take‑off to landing at Bentonville’s QTV airstrip. Using flight‑path visualization, the sky‑borne artwork depicted the GTA VI logo, an alligator, palm trees, a sports car and a bikini‑clad woman, with a helicopter hovering over the logo. The flight began at 11:29 a.m. and returned at 7:37 p.m., and the full trace is viewable on FlightRadar24. McDaniel, who previously rendered the Mona Lisa, The Scream, and other pop‑culture icons from the air, says safety dictates his schedule, postponing flights for adverse weather. His next projects include a classical‑themed and a Thanksgiving piece.
