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.

Velejando de vento em POPA no Delta 17 - Lagoa da conceição - Florianópolis SC Velejar de vento em popa é uma modalidade emocionante e desafiadora da vela em que o vento sopra diretamente por trás do barco, impulsionando-o de forma rápida e eficiente. Essa forma de velejar permite alcançar altas velocidades e experimentar uma sensação de liberdade única. Durante uma velejada de vento em popa, as velas são ajustadas de forma específica para capturar a força do vento. A vela principal é içada completamente, enquanto a genoa, vela da proa, é posicionada do lado oposto ao vento. Essa configuração permite que o barco seja impulsionado pelo vento de maneira poderosa. Uma das principais vantagens de velejar de vento em popa é a emoção de alcançar velocidades impressionantes. Com o vento impulsionando o barco por trás, é possível sentir a pressão nas velas e cortar as ondas rapidamente, experimentando uma sensação de velocidade e adrenalina.
