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.

Our Perkins has had a tendency to overheat, so we got a new heat exchanger, and it already had a stainless exhaust elbow- BUT- as we took that off to replace a hose, we realized that the manifold also could use a replacement! If you're in the market for one though, and you have to get it custom made to order, like us 😅 💵, let us know! WE KNOW A GUY😁

A race where the wind sets the rules 🌊 The legendary Atlantic vs. Adix—pure power, style, and adrenaline in every gust of wind. When the sails are pushed to their limits—that’s when the real magic of the regatta begins. @emmanuel_quinart_photographe #regatta #sailing #stbarth #spinnakermagazine #spinnakerbureau
