Venomous Cobra Discovered on Airplane Mid-Flight
TL;DR Summary
A pilot in South Africa safely landed a small aircraft after feeling a venomous cape cobra slithering on his body mid-flight. The snake was found under the pilot's seat "in a nice pretty little bundle." The pilot and all four passengers emerged unscathed. Local snake catchers were called to the plane after landing, but the snake had disappeared. The pilot and engineers spent the next two days pulling the aircraft apart, searching for the snake, but with no success.
