Tue, 6 January 2009  Hi there, I’m Raminta and I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. According to a Los Angeles Times article of September 2005, a Russian SU-27 flying from St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad went off course, flew over Lithuania, the pilot ejected and the plane crashed into an empty Lithuanian field. Everything about this story is bizarre. Russian authorities initially claimed the plane was unarmed but in fact it had air-to-air missiles and a canon. Why did the aircraft fly over 120 miles into Lithuania? Why did the pilot turn off his radar beacon? Why did he fly low to the ground under Lithuanian radar? Nothing about the incident makes sense. Soon after the crash Lithuanian Air Force Commander Colonel Jonas Marcinkus was fired from his post for some phone calls he made to Russian military officers. Some analysts have suggested the aircraft was testing Lithuanian defenses for a hypothetical Russian war with Poland and Lithuania. Laba diena, norėčiau užsisakyti maisto išsinešimui Ko pageidausite?

Fri, 2 January 2009  Hi there, I’m Raminta and I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph: Vilnius, Lithuania According to the Wikipedia page entitled, Rimantas Antanas Stankevičius, on 9 September 1990, Lithuanian pilot Rimantas Antanas Stankevičius died while performing at an airshow in Treviso, Italy. He was flying an SU-27 high-performance jet and after performing a loop the aircraft was lower than it should have been. Rimantas could have ejected safely but the unpiloted aircraft might then have smashed into the crowds of people watching the show. Rimantas chose to stay with the aircraft to ensure it crashed clear of the spectators. Rimantas was not only a first-class test pilot but also the first Lithuanian astronaut who flew the Buran Space Shuttle prototype. He was born in Mariampolė, Lithuania and was buried in Kaunas, Lithuania. He was 46 years-old. Sveiki, staliuką dviems prašau Kokio staliuko norėtumėte?
