WATCH: Kitty hitches a ride on a plane wing!

Los Angeles - An adventurous cat was rescued from a plane wing.

The gutsy feline snuck onto a microlight aircraft shortly before take-off and then shocked the pilot and his passenger when they spotted it mid-air.

The pilot, Romain Jantot, successfully landed the vehicle as soon as he noticed the furry creature and said it has reminded him of the importance of "looking into the wings before each flight".

Insisting the cute critter is safe and well following the experience, he joked it is now returning to its "flying club mascot role".
