A young German pilot said Sunday he traced a giant syringe in the sky as a way of marking the start of Germany's roll out of vaccines against the coronavirus. Samy Kramer, a 20-year-old amateur pilot, had carefully plotted out the route he needed to take in advance in order to create the effect in the skies above Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The maneuvers included a number of 90-degree turns during the flight on Wednesday that lasted one hour and 40 minutes and covered around 170 miles.
The syringe could be seen on the flightradar24 website.
"I wanted to give people food for thought for the day the vaccine became available," Kramer, a student, told AFP on Sunday.
