Today, Captain Steeeve is covering two wild—and very real—aviation incidents involving unexpected stowaways.

In one case, a pigeon was discovered flying freely around the cabin of a commercial airplane before takeoff, leaving passengers confused and crew members scrambling. In the other, a student pilot and instructor were suddenly joined in the cockpit by a highly uninvited guest: a wasp.

Both incidents raise important questions about wildlife hazards, cockpit distractions, and what pilots are trained to do when the unexpected shows up… and flaps, or buzzes.

Steeeve breaks down what actually happened, what the pilots did right, and how even a small creature can lead to big safety concerns. Don’t miss this one—it’s buzzing with surprises.
