What is a "310", an engine (like a Rotax model#) or a plane?

I assume.

lol. I like when the pilot tried to get the cat down at the end. Don't you F'n touch me! said the cat.

Nice find. Thanks for this.

great vid.

cat totally looks like it had just woken up from a nap at the start. i guess the wing gets warm enough sitting in the sun that it seemed like a nice place to crawl up to for a catnap.

the look on its face when it realized that it wasnt just wind making all the noise is classic.

hats off to the pilot for keeping it in a left banking turn so there was less chance of the cat falling out.

 

[skyking]

That was just a normal pattern, turning to keep the runway in sight.

That was awesome. Look on the dude's face was hilarious. 😀

I wonder how easy it would be for that cat to rip that plastic wing material with his claws.

arent most holding patterns right hand rule- right turn?

He could certainly poke holes in it for sure. I'd be making some screen door "doors" to put in the plane when it is on the ground. Let the wind through to keep the heat down, but keep any unwanted creatures out. This was funny but it could have gone very differently. We've all seen vids where a domesticated cat has gone berzerk.

No. Most planes with side by side seating are solo'd from the left seat, so it has made sense to keep patterns left turns. You see right turns only where terrain or noise abatement (not flying over the most populated part of town) require it.

did he died?

Nope, kitty was fine. I imagine it ran off and promptly shat on the pilot's chair in protest of being taken for an unexpected ride.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Haha that's awesome. Could had ended badly though.

 

[Thebobo]

I love the genuine double take of the pilot

 

[DigDog]

terrifying and hysterical at the same time

Damn...too bad. (psst, I was being silly 😉)

I wasn't surprised to see French/France in the name of the country :biggrin:

It's a damn good thing fight or flight didn't kick in.

Well he was already in flight, so the only option remaining would have been attack the nearest human.
