Meet the Man Who Escaped the Soviet Bloc in a Homemade Plane

The dusty desert of Lucin, Utah, isn't for everyone. It's lonely, windy and hot. But for Ivo Zdarsky, it's home. The inventor, who in 1984 escaped Czechoslovakia in a homemade aircraft, lives in an airplane hangar about 25 miles from his nearest neighbor. Like we said, Lucin isn't for everyone.

    So, an aviator about the same age as me right now built a plane from scratch, flew it across the border early in the morning, landed in a busy airport with the high risk of an malfunction, authorities spotting, and shooting him, and now he lives happily in the middle of nowhere. Remarkable guy.

Our school cop tells us how he assists with the search and rescue every time he is in town. Ivo saved the life of a hunter last winter (2016)that was caught in the middle of a real bad snow storm. No trucks could get through the snow. Ivo spotted the tip of the hunters rifle sticking out of the snow. The hunter suffer extreme frost bight but he lived thanks to Ivo.
