Pilot Romain Jantot has one more item to add to his pre-flight checklist: always check for cats.
The Daily Record reports Jantot was teaching a flying lesson in Kourou, French Guinea, when an unexpected stowaway made an appearance.
After a smooth ascent, a cat creeps from its place on the wing toward the cockpit. The feline flyer seemed unfazed by its journey among the clouds, although the pilot chose to cut the trip short.
Jantot uploaded the above video to YouTube on Sunday, where it has since been viewed nearly 400,000 times. He notes the carry-on cat is doing well, saying, “she is still our mascot.”

"Cat is in the wing, not on the wing. It makes a difference." Thank you for mentioning that. I had a look at video again. I was wondering why the cat didn’t get blown off wing.

cats don’t fly very well
years ago I opened a cat flying lesson school
They did fairly well in the ground school but most all of them failed to survive being dropped from the bridge
Since they didn’t fly, I didn’t get payed

Even if it fell, cats always land on their feet so it would have been fine...

I tried to show it to my wife on the phone while we were sitting in a restaurant a couple hours ago. Kept getting “video loading”.
Sitting at 2.7 million then.
