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.

While in Juneau, apparently a little bird came onto our balcony and did not leave before we left port. Somewhere between Juneau and Ketchikan we opened our balcony door and I saw something out of the corner of my eye racing across our floor. It was the little bird! Poor thing was scared to death. My husband was able to catch it, and someone from maintenance came and got it. We never found out what happened to the little bird. There was a naturalist onboard, so hopefully it was taken to him.
