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.

Full test in Multihulls World Special Issue N°24 Forever Green: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/sy62-3-deck-open-an-eco-friendly-catamaran-designed-for-long-range-cruising ► Developed using the Silent 60 as a base, the 62 has gained 34½” of extra hull length, but is above all, the brand’s first model with three deck levels.: cabins in the hulls, central nacelle, and flybridge. Until now, the yard was offering an optional helm station featuring a retractable T-Top for protection, but aboard the 62, there’s an immense 538-square foot (50 m²) flybridge that remains fixed. This generous surface area provides space for a bar, galley, dining table and large bench-seating for 10 to 12 people. The flybridge is of course covered by a vast T-Top, which not only provides protection but, above all, is suitable for installing an optimal surface area of solar panels. But the manufacturer goes a step further than the classic open fly version - which is the one we got to test at Cannes - as this third level can also be converted into a closed saloon or owner’s suite. The drivetrain chosen for this model is identical to that of the Silent 60: despite its displacement now approaching 40 tons, the 62 is capable of covering 100 nautical miles in 100% electric mode - at reduced cruising speed, of course. A kite can also be deployed for longer passages on favorable points of sail. ► Builder: Silent Yachts Length: 61’11” (18.86 m) Beam: 29’6” (8.99 m) Draft: 3’1” (0.93 m) Displacement: 86,000 lbs (39 t) Cabins: 4 Motors: 2 x 340 kW Battery: 286 kWh Solar panels: 17 kWp ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
