Comment on A plane flying over Germany drawing a Christmas tree

Is this a joke? If not what would be the point of this, seriously? Reminds me of drones writing the name of a Pharmaceutical product into the blue sky of Toronto, a few years back.

I believe it's described as a "test flight", so the only purpose is to fly around for a few hours and watch the instruments .. so you might as well add a few lazy turns in and draw a pattern. So long as it's outside major air routes and military airspace it's in nobody's way.

A publicity stunt, fun, or just spreading Christmas cheer.

And then there was the US Navy http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/17/politics/navy-aircrew-obscene-...

"In case there was any doubt, the US Navy has confirmed that there is 'zero training value' in drawing penises in the sky."
