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.

😳 Where we caught up: https://youtu.be/hcmv4li_W9E Kelsen jumped off a moving sailboat in the Caribbean and outswam it! In the process he proved that the earth is actually a sphere, confounding flat earthers world wide. I mean, look at that horizon! I have a theory: no sane person believes the earth is flat - they just want attention. I can't relate. AT ALL. Outswims Sailboat & Defies Flat Earthers 🌎 https://youtube.com/shorts/-uH4OBNHnio #sailing #travel #flatearth
