A Ravenair pilot wrote "I'm bored" in the sky during a routine test flight over the England-Wales border after an aircraft repair. The unusual flight path was spotted on Flightradar24 and went viral. The airline said the pilot completed the required safety checks, praised the flying skill involved and confirmed no disciplinary action was planned.
Wales Border, July 14, 2026: A pilot flying a routine test flight wrote “I’m bored” in the sky over the Dee estuary on the England-Wales border, with the message later spotted on the flight tracking website Flightradar24.
According to the website, the Ravenair aircraft departed Liverpool at 11.25 am on Saturday and completed a two-hour flight over the Wirral, Cheshire, north Wales and the Dee estuary. The pilot spent about 20 minutes tracing the seven-letter phrase in tight, angular loops over the water between Talacre and Greenfield, reported.
The message was created at an altitude of around 335 metres (1,100 ft) and at speeds of just under 100 knots, Flightradar24 data showed.
“I’ve never seen a pilot saying he’s bored by writing it in the sky,” said Aaron Rheins, a flight-tracking blogger on TikTok.
