Squirrels are by far the cutest of all rodents, who knew they could also fly planes. Recently the YouTube regular Rob Night of HobbyWars found out that Squirrels have many hidden talents.

Like an episode of Airplane Repo not only does this squirrel steal the plane from under the owners nose but he flies off into the wild blue yonder with his model plane, performing tricks the whole time. The only thing this little furry pilot is missing is the scarf and flying goggles, flying gloves would be going too far.

While this may be the first live action version of a squirrel flying a plane there is a long tradition of flying squirrels in the cartoon world, from the Simpsons to Rocky (Rocket J Squirrel of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame) there is plenty of precedence for this happenstance.

Presented for your viewing pleasure is the now legendary Flying Squirrel, watch as he loops the loop and barrel rolls around the sky above. Sit back, relax and put your seats in the upright position, there may be a little laughter related turbulence.
