There is nothing more to tell about the fascination of flying. A simple vacation flight or just flying to other continents has become a matter of course that no longer has much to do with romance or adventure of flying. What could make the experience in all its dimensions more clearly, than to sit at the controls themselves and to master the balance between nature and technology.

Flying has always fascinated me. At young age I started gliding. For many years, I was excited about this kind of flying. In my NIMBUS 3 I discovered Germany, the Alps and Spain. Flights of more than 1000 km were part of this experience.

A turning point in my flying life began when I first stood in front of a Boeing Stearman. It is probably the special charm of this historic aircraft which is captivating someone.

I do not know if it was the geometry of the stately biplane configuration or the music of the seven-cylinder radial engine, it has simply fascinated me. The core of the experience is probably to sit in an open cockpit. There is no way to experience kind of flying more intensive. Packed in a flight suit - that's the beginning of time travel – it seems you’ll be ready to face all the elements. From this moment the world looks different. You can feel the challenge to lift with this really emotional aircraft, only to leave it all to themselves. Small and relaxed distance, but close enough to be able to perceive the charm of the landscape consciously.

There are several ways to feel happiness in life.

A flight in a Stearman is undoubtedly one of those special experiences.
