Today is the final day to enter a contest designed to stimulate pilots to create awesome artwork in the sky. Not skywriting, but rather Lightspeed Aviation’s Wild Blue Doodle competition that calls for flying precise enough to create a piece of art aloft when tracked with Cloud Ahoy. So, why mention a contest that closes today? Because the process necessary to create these new works of art demanded serious out-of-the-box thinking, at least to a guy like me who learned to fly with a VOR and an NDB.
Wild Blue Doodle Contest Tests Pilot Thinking
Key Takeaways:
- Lightspeed Aviation's "Wild Blue Doodle" contest challenged pilots to create intricate aerial artwork through precise flight paths tracked by Cloud Ahoy.
- The contest aimed to encourage flying and test advanced piloting and navigational skills, with public voting now open to choose the winners.
- One pilot, Brian Danza, innovatively created a detailed DA-40 silhouette by mapping the design in Photoshop and Google Earth, then scripting navigation coordinates for his aircraft's G1000.
