Description
What is it like to take off in an airplane alone for the first time? To pull the stick of an acrobatic plane and shoot straight up into the sky, then dive headfirst towards the ground? To pilot a glider in a storm cloud during hail at an altitude of five kilometers above the earth or to get lost without navigation over unfamiliar terrain? To drift silently in a balloon over the evening landscape and greet the people who look up at you... Stories about life among airplanes, pilots, and parachutists, about fun and fear, tension and sadness, flying "during Husák's era" in Svazarm and in the free time after the Velvet Revolution, experienced by the author, a long-time member of the Strakonice aeroclub and a former representative of Czechoslovakia in aerial navigation, along with his friends from Czech and Slovak airports.
