Recently, gamers waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI noticed a pilot from the US. He took to the skies and “drew” an image in northwestern Arkansas directly referencing the new installment of the Rockstar Games franchise.
The Flightradar24 service provides data on the flight of a Cessna Skylane RG aircraft model. It was flown by pilot Benjamin McDaniel, better known on social media as “The Pilot Picasso” — he creates such “sky art” across various states.
Judging by the available data, creating the “image” featuring the Grand Theft Auto VI logo (not perfectly straight, but easily recognizable letters), a helicopter, palm trees, a car, a bikini girl with a pistol, and an alligator took The Pilot Picasso around 8 hours and 8 minutes. This calculation includes the entire flight time — the actual “drawing” in the air took slightly less.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
