It is not the first time people have come up with makeshift planes and flown them.

In 2019, police arrested a man moments before his homemade aeroplane could take off from a road in Pakpattan.

Mohammad Fayaz had indigenously designed an aircraft using readily available materials and preparing to fly it in the Rang Shah neighbourhood of Pakpattan, police seized his aeroplane and arrested him.

Mohammad Fayaz was arrested for building an aircraft without a ‘permit’ and ‘performing aerobatics’ in the makeshift flying machine.

The police said that when they arrived on the scene, his machine was landing, however, it was learnt from sources that he was arrested before he could take off.

Fayyaz was later produced before a local court where he was fined Rs3000 and released on bail.
