Taneja first gained notoriety for posting videos about aviation but has since expanded to post a variety of videos, including vlogs of his daily activities and workout routine. According to reports, Taneja permanently ended his career in aviation in 2020 and became a full-time content creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"909\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-24-184215.jpg\" alt=\"A Pilot Intends To Draw A Massive Map Of India In The Sky On Republic Day | Exclusive\" class=\"wp-image-28899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-24-184215.jpg 909w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-24-184215-600x508.jpg 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-24-184215-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-24-184215-768x650.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-24-184215-750x634.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/><figcaption>Pilot to draw biggest-ever India map | Image credits to owner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Similar Stunts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A flying sneaker, a wolf, and even a pilot who sketched his own plane were among the interesting creations made by pilots in a competition organised by the aviation company Lightspeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial aircraft have also pulled off similar tricks.
