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 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.
