Video Flagged Dead

Flying upside down under a bridge

submitted by MINK

1 decade 7 years 8 months ago

This is Lithuanian hero Jurgis Kairys flying upside down under a bridge.

If that doesn't impress you, how about this article about Jurgis flying upside down under ten bridges after crashing his car on the way to the airport?

Or how about this video from Japan.... he takes off vertically, flies sideways at an altitude of a few inches, hangs in the air from his propellor (a move he pioneered) and races some cars around a stadium. Just craziness. I am pretty sure this is also Jurgis:
Airplane vs stock cars
more craziness from the same event

Big ups to Jurgis and my adopted home town Vilnius, Lithuania. Respect to Lithuanian legends Darius and Girenas for inspiring aviators worldwide with their transatlantic flight in 1933, leading to the best looking banknote in the world.

omfg impressive! good first post mink.

thanks! that pilot is an inspiration so credit to him first

Isn't this a dup? I know I tried to post it a while back but found it was already posted.

dunno, that's new for me

you wouldn't believe how hard i searched before posting this! first post an' all.
if it is a dupe, the other one isn't tagged with aerobatics or kairys, that's for sure.

badly titled&tagged post are a problem, that will hopefully be solved eventually.

for sure tagging is hard, i wanted airplane, aeroplane and plane in there.
