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.

It is always a bit intimidating doing surgery completely alone. My first job out of vet school I worked solo almost from the get go, but I always knew there were other vets in town, a phone call away to help. Out here with no internet or cell service, an 8+ hour sail from the nearest vet clinic, I was operating truly alone (well, Jim is always helping me, but alone in the veterinary sense!). But I have had a lot of practice being a vet and working alone, and I knew Cholo needed this surgery. So I just took it step by step! #veterinarian #animalrescue #vetsurgeon #surgery #vetmed #savingdogs
