A pilot has sketched an amazing GTA 6 mural in the sky by following a flight path with his plane. Benjamin McDaniel, who goes by The Pilot Picasso, has now revealed his latest creation, a GTA 6 image mapped out through aviation. With flight path tracking tools, anyone can view the full trip and watch the design appear step by step.
It feels very much like an Etch A Sketch, since it is one unbroken line from beginning to end, and that is a big part of why it looks so remarkable. Another reason it stands out is simple: he managed to keep the aircraft airborne for the full duration.
He departed from Bentonville (QTV) airstrip at 11:29 a.m. and touched down at the same airport at 19:37 p.m. The full run took eight hours and eight minutes, and he completed the drawing with a Cessna Skylane RG. He finished the flight on November 5, and it can be viewed on FlightRadar24. A post also showed the final result:
- The curves used to form the alligator were the most interesting part to follow. Great work, @thepilotpicasso.
The picture featured the GTA 6 emblem beside an alligator, towering palm trees, a sleek sports car, and a bikini-clad woman. A helicopter was also positioned above the logo.
He plans to create a classical artwork next, along with a Thanksgiving-themed one. In a recent interview, he explained that safety comes first, adding that if poor weather appears, he delays the flight to another day or even another week.
Back in October, The Pilot Picasso flew a route that outlined the Mona Lisa, and earlier he also created Edvard Munch’s The Scream. Other pop culture flights have included The Lord of The Rings, the world of Skyrim, and Spider-Man.
There is also plenty more to read about GTA 6 while you’re waiting for its November release 19 release, including an unlikely gameplay reveal in a recent South Park episode, how one of the game’s biggest mechanics was named after a well-known GTA 4 joke and the way the map gets unlocked fairly early and allow free exploration.
Analysts think GTA 6 could bring in more than $5 billion during launch week alone, so it is likely to dominate social feeds for a while. GTA 6 is set to arrive on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
