You won’t believe how this Alaska customer left a restaurant — by flying off in a plane, watch viral video

Usually, after a night out at a restaurant, people go to their cars, call a cab, or walk home. But one man in Alaska took a route that he will never forget. Instead of driving away, he flew away in a plane, and the whole thing was caught on camera.

How did the unusual exit unfold?

The viral video starts with a witness filming from the side of a road. You can see a restaurant in the distance, and in its parking lot, there is a small black plane. The plane slowly moves across the dusty ground before carefully making its way onto the highway, as per a report by NerdStash.

The plane picks up speed as soon as the road is clear. Its front propeller spins faster and faster until it finally takes off. In a matter of seconds, it flies high into the sky, right over the cameraman's car. The loud engine noise makes the moment even more strange: leaving the restaurant was like no other.

What did people say online?

After the video started going around, people on social media had a lot to say about it. One Reddit user said, “I know very little about planes, but I’m impressed at how quickly it got off the ground.”

Another user explained what the plane could do: “These planes are equipped for Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) because they often need to use short runways or surfaces that aren’t true runways at all,” as per a report by NerdStash.

Some people couldn't help but compare it to popular video games. One person joked, "This feels so GTA San Andreas." The funny responses showed how strange but impressive the stunt was.

A fourth comment was made by a local Alaskan who provided insight into the unexpected aviation culture in the US state, exclaiming, “Alaskan here!! If someone is flying a plane to get some food… they are not living in an unreachable village. They are just having fun. Also fun fact, Alaska has the most bush pilots and planes in the world!”

The explanation helped me understand why that scene, which shocked a lot of people online, is just another day in Alaska, where flying is important for both work and fun.
