It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...on the road?

We’ve all seen traffic caused by various things. We’ve seen the usual: roadwork, fender-bender, rubbernecking. We’ve even seen the more obscure causes like a stray animal or marriage proposal. But if you commute in the Chinese city of Xi’an you may have seen traffic caused by a plane driving on the streets and navigating the city. That’s right, a plane without wings, driving down the highway. The plane was purchased by a local aviation school for it to be used as part of the school’s training program. Hopefully the students learn that planes typically fly in the sky rather than drive on roads. It’s a pro tip to help you skip all the morning and afternoon traffic.
