Find You A Best Friend That Airdrops You Sandwiches From The Sky

Food & Wine- The area is mostly flat farm land, humid in the summer, and when lunch time hits, you’re probably starving from the morning’s work and most likely facing a hike back to your (hopefully) air conditioned kitchen. Nathan Howatt, a 23-year-old resident of the area, after flying himself—yes flying—home from a dentist appointment in nearby Devil’s Lake (more than an hour trip by car), decided to pay his friend a visit with a care package. According to a Snapchat video recorded by the farmer in question, with the caption “Thanks, buddy nice shot,” Howatt’s plane can be seen flying low to the ground before dropping a Subway sandwich out of the aircraft, then quickly ascending back up to the sky. Howatt’s corresponding Snapchat post, which shows him holding up the Subway bag in the cockpit of his plane, reads, “toasted Subway melt care package [with] pepper jack cheese, ranch, and banana peppers, coming your way.”

Joey & Chandler. Jerry & George. Forrest & Lieutenant Dan. And now, these two folks. Best friends that will go down in history. It’s a beautiful thing to see such devotion, as many people go through life without finding a bff that will drop them a sandwich out of the sky. Some people have that shitty friend who Venmo requests them $4 for buying a beer at a bar, and these North Dakotans are flinging sandwiches to one another from planes like it’s an everyday routine.

This is also a testament as to how cool it must be to live in a state like North Dakota. All your life consists of is North Dakota State Football and farming, and I guess you fly your plane to get to a dentist appointment. That might be the best thing about this entire video. He casually flew himself to his dentist instead of doing the hour car ride. I have no idea how the logistics of that work, but I’m fascinated by it. Can’t very well do that in New York City, that’s for sure.
