  1. A flying instructor in his 20s traced the message “I’M BORED” in the sky over the border between England and Wales during a test flight.

  2. The message was recorded by flight-tracking platform Flightradar24 via the aircraft’s route, not by visible smoke or skywriting.

  3. The instructor flew a Ravenair-operated Piper Tomahawk aircraft after a cylinder replacement to confirm safe operation.

  4. Ravenair operations manager Wayne Barrett said the flight completed its test successfully and the pilot would not face disciplinary action.

  5. The 20-minute maneuver was performed at approximately 1,100 feet and below 100 knots.
