Articles
Flying, photography and writing
Three different types of passion... I have been trying to share with interested readers my flying experience and the excitement it brings by publishing my articles, photographs and videos taken in various countries during various phases of flight. All the articles I have written over the last several years have been published either on my personal blog in the No. 1 Czech news portal iDnes or in its Travel section. All the articles are in Czech language and would be somewhat difficult to translate but even if you don´t understand our complicated language, you can still enjoy the selection of photos contained in the articles and the brief summaries of the articles below. The complete collections of photos and videos are available in the "Aerial photos" and "Aerial videos" sections of this web.

The article is composed of individual stories of the people who were in the offices just above the gas explosion that shattered the building in which Galileo offices were located. Since I set up the company and know closely all the people involved I felt very strongly about what happened. The article contains also an amateur video of the damage. More can also be found for example here more
