(NewsNation) — A pilot’s flight path across a province in Canada depicts the silhouette of a soldier beside a tombstone, likely in honor of Canada’s Remembrance Day.
On Nov. 7, the pilot took off and landed in Halifax, the capital of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, according to information from global flight tracking service Flightradar24.
They spent a little less than 3 hours in the sky designing what appears to be the stunning silhouette of a soldier with a rifle on their back next to a cross headstone. The pilot was flying a Cirrus SR22 aircraft; however, no other information about the pilot or their motivation is available online.
