Pilot draws giant hypodermic needle in the sky to celebrate arrival of vaccine

Last week, the first shipments of Pfizer and BioNTech’s corona vaccine were distributed from Puurs-Sint-Amands, Belgium, across Europe. Yesterday and today, most European countries will have administered the first vaccines. 

A pilot in Friedriechshafen, Germany wanted to highlight this important and symbolic moment: on 23 December, he took his Diamond DA20 Katana (registered D-ENIG) to the skies and started drawing a giant aerial hypodermic needle in the sky.

The aerial drawing was tracked by Flightradar24:

It’s not the first coronavirus-inspired aerial drawing, tweeted Flightradar24:

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
