This pilot drew a unique tribute to George Floyd over Canada by following a flight path in the shape of a raised fist

A pilot drew a unique tribute to George Floyd over Canada by following a flight path in the shape of a raised fist.

Dimitri Neonakis took to the Nova Scotia sky on Thursday with his personal message to Floyd. He told CNN he chose the fist because it's a symbol of the movement against racism. "We all have to speak out and we have to end it," Neonakis said."There are no borders when it comes to racism." Neonakis mapped out the image on an app and then followed the line for the fist in his plane. He said it took him about two and a half hours at 150 miles per hour to finish the image.

— FlightAware June 4, 2020 Because the drawing was done on a flight path, only radar could detect his drawing. Read MoreFlightAware.com followed Neonakis during his entire flight and documented the completed picture when he got back to the ground. Neonakis said the picture is simply an expression of his feelings for his own reasons and has nothing to do with politics. "I feel the need to speak out and my way is in the air," Neonakis said.

BLM untill a black man shoots another black man..🤔

You're kidding right!

Nice and good impression 😍😍

Wish this article were more accurate. It was over Nova Scotia not the entire country, and yes this pilot has done this before, noted in the article was the recent mass killing of 22 people, not 9 on April 18th & 19th in NS.

Which is a symbol for Black Power i.e. black supremacy. This is not an equality movement, this is a dwindling minority within the American melting pot that wants to leverage itself as the top tier ethnic group, with everyone else under their jackboot.

Canada is a big place. Please give Nova Scotia credit. This is my neighbour and he deserves to be recognized for where he is from.

what about the regulations that prevent you from doing random flight patterns? not to mention the turns in that plane it would be impossible to make this

I love this

Does anyone else see a fat old man with a runny nose?

Nova Scotia, Canada 🌸

TIL , planes can turn perfect 90 degree angles.

Well, that was a waste of resources, and just added a little more pollution into the environment, unnecessarily.

That is real dope

CNN sucks

Sounds sexual to me

BEAUTIFUL!

Looks more like a tribute to a war.

One of the reasons why police in America will always be brutal is because they know they will get away with it PoliceBrutality BlackLivesMatter

This is a disgrace, major disgrace, no one should kneel to anyone at all, not even to Prophet Muhammad or prophet Jesus, except Allah (God almighty,), We Condemn Mr. Floyd's death, but at no time kneel to anyone but God , This is what Islam teaches

Even more funny with passenger jets full of people!

Sainthood is next. I bet you a counterfeit twenty dollar bill.

Hmmm? Cool idea.

Too perfect. I'm calling PhotoShop on this.

That is impressive!

Nice fist to stick up cnn a.....

ITS SO GREAT TO SEE THE 'BLACK POWER' SYMBOL!!!

Nobody cares fake news TRUMP2020

That put a huge carbon footprint on our planet ...I thought climate change was the number one threat To civilization? Just like social distancing and cancelation of all funerals since March,, rules for most Americans but apparently not for all especially the democrats it seems

Just another public announcement from your friends at BLM. ENJOY!

BRUH THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT I CAN MAKE THIS ON MS PAINT. RISE UP AGAINTS THE OPPRESSION. REVOLUTION WILL NEVER BE TELEVISED. but for real tho CNN can you please televise it

Little did they know that I rode a unicycle in that same area so it looks like it's holding a big, floppy, wiener.

how about y'all cover this!

wow

All of Canada hates Trump!

every racist everywhere just stopped being racist because of this

A little too perfect to be real.

99% plus USA citizens have not been, or ever will be in their lifetime, in jail as much time as George Floyd was for armed home invasions Did his hidden profits buy him his Mercedes SUV? What about concern for victims of his crimes? Anyone? ThinkForYourself

Using 'only' his airplane then? I guess next time I can't find a pencil, I'll see if we have any airplanes lying around.

ChrisChkm8in8 Wait—is this the TheBabylonBee

elynnhardi1 Yea Canada

BlackLivesMatter

So cool!

Here are the other ones he has done in memorial of the shooting rampage that occurred here in April.

Wonder who paid for that and how planned it was for you to report on it like this is news. Not impressed and not ever “woke”!

Amazing! When does the movie come out?

Will he draw a gun over Chicago now?

Racism solved

'A tribute to George Floyd', WTF? That man was a criminal

Keep it in Canada

Cool.

FakeNews

A heart would have been a better gesture.

He could have done this is photoshop and lowered his emissions. ClimateChange

Youare turning this country into North Korea. You are the propaganda sent by Satan

These are the same people who claim to be environmental advocates. What a total waste of fuel and a significant contribution to atmospheric pollution.

What a waste of precious time and resources. Could have done the same using a photoshop from home and donated the money saved to the cause.

Cnn enemy of usa 🇺🇸

Black Americans, please go to school. Don't let them keep distracting you with all these race toys. You're grown men. Think for yourselves.

А этот пилот не хочет ещё что-нибудь нарисовать?

كل الاحترام لهذا الرجل الشجاع

You mean a black supremacy symbol.

He was a criminal arrested 5x the last for kidnapping putting a gun to a 5 months old pregnant woman NO he didn't deserve to die but stop making him or to be a Martin Luther King Jr!!!

FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople

Wow. So creative!

tedlieu How does an airplane make right angle turns?

tedlieu

tedlieu George Floyd held a pregnant woman at gun point while his friends robbed her home. Yay George

Amazing

That’s highly accurate for something that can’t do that.

Baba Booey

❤❤❤

Nice job lilduval! I didn’t read the article but imma just roll with it being you that did this. I’m proud of you man

cough cough bullshit

WELL DONE RESPECT FOR GEORGE FLOYDS MEMORY

always with the violence, always with the fists

Glorifying criminals and abortions. You Liberals are insane, and why you will never see the White House again

So brave. 🙄

NIFTYTALKS💖 MAJOR RESISTANCE AT 10280-315⭐ IF RESPECTED, WE CAN EXPECT A GOOD PROFIT BOOKING (FALL) IN COMING DAYS⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲

I'm going to spell out MAGA on my flight path just to see if CNN will praise me with glory.

So brave and uplifting.

Uhh. No. The raised fist isnt and never has been a symbol against racism. It has always been a symbol associated with militant socialism, racial nationalism (including even white nationalism), or even anarchism. What it has never represented is peace and tolerance.

Nothing says equality like black power...

Have the pilot do Fuck Trump over the nation!!

I'm changing you from 'fake news* to 'ridiculously fake news'.

Remember global warming? Lol

has decided to become TheOnion minus the humor

stunningandbrave

Thirsty much?

😴😴

Yea Canada and thank you - RESPECT ❤️

Hand over fist. Get that race war crap out of here.

novascotiastrong

And the climate bedwetting libs are confused

Ugh.

Sky cuck

CodexRex 90* turns? Colour me skeptical

It's CNN, so it must be true

BlackLivesMatter is a terrorist organization that has a noble name but promotes hate and criminal behavior including assault on black officers

Damn white ppl inventing airplanes

把人殺了然後舉行一場宏大的葬禮,多麼人道主義,自由和民主被弗洛伊德帶去了天堂!

What about Carbon emissions. Nevermind we don't care about that anymore. You're all frauds. Been wrong for 3.5 years. Losers

🙄

LOL how about shows the flight path that killed thousands of different races and religions on 9/11

Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Chief Master Sergeant engaged in a powerful conversation about understanding in a time of unrest amid George Floyd protests.
