CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sometimes when you’re afraid to fly, it helps to have a friend.

Meet “Daniel.”

The four-year-old Indian Runner duck was spotted on a flight from Charlotte to Asheville, North Carolina. The feathered friend is certified for his emotional support services and was there to be a pal for a passenger who was worried about flying.

Passengers aboard the flight say Daniel made it easier for everyone, wearing his red booties and Captain America diaper, and quietly quacking while looking out the window.

Fellow passenger Mark Essig documented Daniel’s journey on Twitter.

Daniel, whose full name is apparently “Daniel Turducken Stinkerbutt,” was apparently already a bit of a star, appearing in a series of YouTube videos.
