During a recent flight from Shanghai, China, to Reykjavik, an anonymous pilot drew a large heart with the plane’s flight path. It was an important journey of nearly 5,600 miles, as the Icelendair flight was importing much-needed medical supplies, news agency South West News Service (SWNS) reports.
Before the flight landed, the plane doubled back to doodle a heart above two of the capital city’s hospitals. Though the change in course reportedly added another nine minutes to the flight, per SWNS, it was a heartfelt salute for the nation’s health care personnel.
