Pilot’s flight path over Nova Scotia forms soldier silhouette
A pilot flying a Cirrus SR22 traced a flight path over Nova Scotia on Nov. 7 that, when viewed on flight-tracking maps, appears to form the silhouette of a soldier standing beside a cross-style headstone. The flight, recorded by global tracker Flightradar24, departed from and returned to Halifax and lasted just under three hours.
The image appears to be a deliberate, large-scale tribute timed ahead of Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, but no public information has been released about the pilot’s identity or stated motivation. News outlets have described the outline as a striking silhouette of a soldier carrying a rifle with a nearby tombstone.
Why Nov. 11 matters: Nov. 11 marks the date in 1918 when the armistice ending major hostilities in World War I took effect. The day is observed around the world as Remembrance Day, Veterans Day (U.S.), or Armistice Day in various countries.
This kind of large-scale image created via a flight path has been shared widely on social media and flight-tracking platforms, where enthusiasts and onlookers often spot artistic or symbolic routes. Authorities and local aviation officials have not issued statements about this specific flight.
