Sergei’s first glider flight took place on the 12th of April, 1980, and although it was not as death defying and dangerous as man’s first flight into space on that day nineteen years earlier, it left him with unforgettable sensations and an indomitable pull back to the sky.
Jerzy Szemplinski became a glider pilot in his native Poland when he was 16 years old. At 19 he started flying in competitions and became a junior vice-champion of Poland. By the age of 22 he had completed all the requirements for the FAI gold badge with three diamonds. For the next eight years, he participated in national contests as one of the youngest pilots in the country and also represented Poland in various international contests.
