While this seems legit, it's worth noting that ADSB, the RF message protocol used for most 'live' location stats in FlightRadar24, has no form of authentication. Nevermind the network protocol weaknesses, trolling FR24 would require little more than a $300 radio and some free software.

Speculating here, but pilots have flight hour requirements for various certifications. Maybe this is a flight that had to happen to log hours but isn’t otherwise necessary so the pilot decided to have some fun.

This type of thing is popular with runners and cyclists. Search for "strava art" The hard part is finding roads that match your desired picture. Or findind a picture with the given roads. Planes have it easy.

As someone who doesn't look at flight radars often, I'm always surprised by how many planes are flying simultaneously.
Is there an estimation about how many more planes are possible before it gets too crowded?

What a pleasant sight to watch on the map. But I guess the travellers won't be relishing the experience as much as we do. :-)

I wonder how much extra would it cost for this Airbus A380 test route in Xmas tree vs. a circle path?

Shouldn't it be "an" xmas tree?

"plane"
That's Santa Claus making a test run.

Waste of fuel and adding more CO2 to the atmosphere

Anyone know the reason for this? To promote this website? :P

Is this a joke? If not what would be the point of this, seriously? Reminds me of drones writing the name of a Pharmaceutical product into the blue sky of Toronto, a few years back.

Is he really drawing a Christmas tree? Or is this just another poorly executed penis drawing?
