This is why you should always check your airplane for hidden cats!

There's the ordinary engine and gear check, but occasionally you should also check your aircraft for hidden hairy passengers. Two folks flying an open-cockpit sailplane in Kourou, French Guiana realised that mid-flight when they witnessed a cat within the glider's wing, urgently clawing to stay aboard the aircraft.

The pilot discovers the cat shortly after takeoff; and fortunately, all the passengers arrive safely to the basis in the end.

A standard flight until... i still don't know if it got in after the pre flight check or if i missed it. The cat is doing well, she is still our mascot.
