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.

È partita l’8 gennaio da Puerto Calero, Lanzarote, la RORC Transatlantic Race. Circa tremila miglia di navigazione attraverso l’Atlantico dalle Canarie a Grenada, nei Caraibi orientali. Maserati Multi70, che sulla linea del via ha sofferto leggermente le condizioni di vento moderato, nell’avventurarsi più al largo a nord di Tenerife ha costruito la rimonta nella zona di accelerazione tra le isole, e con l’ingresso nella brezza costante dell’Oceano, intorno all’alba del secondo giorno, ha dato il meglio di sé, superando Snowflake e Zoulou e stabilendosi al comando della flotta. “Quelle della seconda notte dopo la partenza sono state ore intense, con venti nodi e velocità pazzesche,” riferisce da bordo Giovanni Soldini, “Abbiamo toccato picchi di 37 nodi con onde di due tre metri. Siamo dove volevamo essere, in controllo sugli avversari, la strada è lunga ma noi non molliamo”. All’ultimo aggiornamento delle 12:00 UTC del 10 gennaio, la flotta dei tre MOD70 ha percorso già più di mille miglia e si trova a meno di duemila miglia dal traguardo. Dal punto di vista meteo, ci sono i presupposti per assistere a una corsa mozzafiato fino all’arrivo, attualmente previsto nella notte tra venerdì e sabato. #MaseratiMulti70 #RORCTransatlanticRace Sito web: https://maserati.soldini.it/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovannisoldini/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giovanni_soldini/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/giovannisoldini/
