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.

Clay stop motion. Again I tried to make the movements smoother than in the previous video. This time I just used artificial light, but there's still some shadows. Pictures taken with Canon Powershot SX30is on 'wide screen'. Edited in WLMM, after that I saved it als HD film, imported it again in WLMM to speed up some parts and to add music and titles to it, and saved it again as HD film.

Dawn in the Atlantic, Contessa 32 Chaos is becalmed! 3 days with no wind and 500 miles from anywhere... the breeze did come back eventually, in the meantime we just relaxed and waited... Ive never seen the ocean so calm, like an oiled millpond

► Discover our full test in Multihull World N°200: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/swiss-cat-55-glamorous-and-efficient ► Swiss Cat Yachts is ramping up business, having kept a relatively low profile in recent years: their new 55 made a big impression at Cannes with its inverted bows, modern, attractive layouts and, of course, its electric metallic blue exterior. Circulation on board is optimized thanks to wide side-decks and gentle slopes - such as the steps between the cockpit and the sugarscoops. The deck layout is particularly uncluttered, with minimalist helm stations. The weight calculation of around 31,000 lbs (14 t) and the generous sail area (1,840 square feet/171 m² upwind) guarantee excellent performance even in light airs. In rough seas, the 3’3”/1-meter bridgedeck clearance will protect the catamaran from slamming. As for the cutter rig, it guarantees safety and ease of handling offshore. This new 55, like all Swisscat models, can be customized according to the owner’s wishes. ► Technical Specifications Builder: Swiss Cat Yachts Architect: YDC Design: Amadio and Partners Length: 55’5” (16.9 m) Beam: 26’11” (8.2 m) Displacement: 30,865 lbs (14 t) Draft: 2’2”/9’6” (0.66/2.9 m) Mast length: 733’10” (22.5 m) Mainsail: 1,087 sq ft (101 m²) Genoa: 753 sq ft (70 m²) Gennaker: 1,722 sq ft (160 m²) Spinnaker: 2,690 sq ft (250 m²) ► 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!
