Pilot draws syringe by flying route as COVID-19 vaccination drive begins
A pilot has vowed to spread awareness about the novel coronavirusand thank the efforts of the frontline workers who have beenworking round the clock to help the world battle COVID-19 pandemic.
Samy Kramer, a trained pilot, took to the skies to form the shape of a syringe to celebrate the first day of European Union's vaccination drive for the masses.
Kramer said he hoped his aerial stunt will be"a fun and unconventional way to raise awareness" about the coronavirus and vaccines being made available to the masses in several European countries from today.
By performing this stunt, he became one of the four pilots who have summarized 2020 — the pandemic year — in four of such routes. The other pilots drew a 'thumbs up' with the medical plus sign, a 'stay at home' warning' and 'NHS' in the skies.
Kramer flewin a Diamond DA20 single-propeller plane and traced the shape of the syringe aboveFriedrichshafen, a German town 126km (78miles) from Stuttgart.
