What do you get when you mix Cold War espionage, an 80-year-old warbird, and a pilot crazy enough to hijack his own airplane to escape communism? In this video, I fly Mira Slovak’s original Bücker Jungmann, a legendary German-designed WWII-era biplane with an unbelievable backstory. From Cold War defection to aerobatic stunts, this flight is packed with cinematic footage, vintage aircraft vibes, and a slice of aviation history you’ve probably never heard. Miroslav “Mira” Slovak was a Czech Airlines pilot who hijacked his own plane in 1953 to flee the Soviet regime, eventually becoming a U.S. citizen, air race champion, and aerobatic pilot. His story is straight out of a movie—and now, his historic airplane lives on. We took this 1930s warbird to the skies for a day of vintage aerobatics, tailwheel flying, and breathtaking air-to-air shots. Whether you’re into vintage planes, Cold War history, general aviation, or just love epic flying footage, this one’s for you.

The fuel for the perfect day on the water is almost as important as the experience itself! 🏈 We had the honor to go Boatgating (think tailgating, but on a boat!) with Chicago football legends, renowned Chef Danny Bullock, and our favorite sideline reporter slash boatgating extraordinaire, Lauren Screeden. Stay tuned for plenty more boatgating fun this football season with Discover Boating! 🛥️

Living on a sailboat in a boatyard with a broken leg is less than ideal, but there are a few perks, most notably the electric shopping cart at the grocery store! Check out this quick update on the state of the refit! http://www.Projectatticus.com https://www.facebook.com/TheProjectAtticus
