4.Aircraft Come Home To Roost

Advertisement
Regarding original aircraft designs, this rooster-themed single-prop plane is a remarkable anomaly. One might first hesitate, wondering if such quirky aeroplane designs are widespread. Actually, this specific jet pushes the envelope of inventive aircraft modification to unprecedented heights, or should we say to new roosting areas? Though the jury is still deciding if this is the best or the worst aircraft design ever proposed, one thing is clear: its chutzpah is absolutely fantastic. Given the rooster's head is very crudely depicted, the attention to detail in turning the aircraft into a rooster is not particularly remarkable. But the pilot's dedication to the theme—wearing a leather helmet and goggles to finish the outfit—is what really brings this spooky aircraft legendary status. The flying experience produced by this mix of an unusual aircraft design and the pilot's themed clothing is as unforgettable as it is strange. This rooster plane definitely grabs attention and starts a debate, illustrating that occasionally in aviation, imagination and humour can fly just as high as technical ability even though it may not win any prizes for aerodynamic efficiency or practical design.
