Pilots, add this to your pre-flight checklists: “Remove cat before flight”

An ultralight pilot had to cut his flight short when he found that his flying club’s cat mascot had stowed away in the wing. It’s all captured in the video above, titled Remove Cat Before Flight.

The flight starts out as expected: smooth takeoff and a climb to altitude…

…and that’s when a little head appears in the hollow space inside the ultralight’s left wing:

The cat moves closer to the cabin…

…and that’s when the pilot discovers that he has a stowaway.

He quickly comes in for a landing…

…hops out of his seat…

…reaches to extract the cat…

…but it turns out that the cat is quite capable of freeing himself.

The caption for the video reads: “Pour info le chat va très bien, il continue avec application son rôle de mascotte du club”, which translates as “FYI, that cat’s fine, he remains the club’s mascot.”
