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.

As always at this time of year here is a video of Sagitta ashore at the Multihull Centre, Millbrook Cornwall. As you can see, they really pack us in - yet there's always room for more! (why not play "Spot the monohull", I think there are four) Sagitta will have some jobs done this winter, mainly cosmetic, so not like last years marathon refit. Launching in mid March, ready for next seasons cruising and racing. You can see more on Sagitta here https://www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs-2/3-25ft-to-30ft-catamarans-designs/171-sagitta and the Multihull Centre here https://www.multihullcentre.com/multihull-centre/

Cambio del alternador!⚙️🦾🧑‍🔧 Tuvimos que cambiar el alternador en la travesía de Canarias a Cabo Verde,…y ahora parece que todo funciona algo mejor, pero tampoco notamos mucho la diferencia. Seguramente, para nuestra próxima travesía de larga distancia, apostaremos en comprar por un generador pequeño, ya que será más potente, más rápido, y menos tiempo de uso.⛵️ . . . #sailing_lasonambula #atardecer #alternador #sunset #sailingintheworld #sailing #sailing⛵️ #veleros #velero #sail #follow #tiktok #ig #igers #caribe #loveyoutiktok #trending #viral #funny #love #music #happy #atlanticcrossing #loveyou #photography
