A Dartmouth, N.S. pilot known for his elaborate flight path drawings took to the sky Thursday to draw a fist in a show of solidarity for the anti-racism movement.
“Racism is gaining ground on us. It was always there, throughout history, especially here in North America,” pilot Demitri Neonakis told CTVNews.ca by phone Friday.
Measuring 330 nautical-miles, the flight path, which took the shape of a clenched fist, was spotted onand quickly shared on social media by some who described it as a “beautiful” show of solidarity. The clenched fist is the latest of Neonakis’ flights to attract attention. Over the last several months, the pilot has taken to the sky on multiple occasions to spread messages of hope, drawing a heart over the province after the mass killing in Portapique, N.S., and honouring Capt. Jennifer Casey, killed in the Snowbirds crash in May.
