Pilot Picasso traces a GTA VI tribute with an eight-hour flight

Quick summary

Arkansas pilot Benjamin McDaniel used the tracked route of Cessna N1810R to draw a GTA VI-inspired composition on November 5. The artwork exists on flight-tracking maps, not as visible skywriting, and no Rockstar commission has been established.

One continuous route

McDaniel’s official gallery shows a helicopter, palm trees, a figure, an alligator, a sports car and GTA-style lettering formed by the recorded path. Flightradar24 logs an 8-hour 8-minute Bentonville-to-Bentonville flight for N1810R on November 5.

McDaniel, who works as The Pilot Picasso, says his pieces are hand-flown solo in a Cessna 182RG. Reporting describes this one as a personal fan tribute; there is no evidence Rockstar organised or paid for it.
