00:00I've always been jealous of birds, that they fly so freely.
00:07And I started flying too.
00:11I flew until late, oh, for a long, long time.
00:15While I was retired, I was still flying.
00:19It's a wonderful sport.
00:21Because you are alone in the air.
00:24And you have to decide everything by yourself.
00:29And it's the most pleasant when...
00:33Bocian is a big bird.
00:35When he was flying, there was always a chimney.
00:40It was a lift.
00:42And we always used this opportunity.
00:47Once I was very low.
00:49My friend, it was near Poniec,
00:54she asked me to land a bit lower.
00:58And I saw a flock of little birds.
01:02They were so happy.
01:04I said, oh, the chimney has come off.
01:07And of course there was no chimney.
01:09I turned around and flew home.
01:12And my friend said, you are lucky.
01:15I am very pleased to welcome you to the meeting
01:18where the main character will be Mrs. Adela Dankowska,
01:21the legend of Polish glider and aviation.
01:24I came to Leszna a few years ago
01:28to write a chapter for the book
01:30The Girl on the Wings,
01:32which is a book about the history of women's aviation in Poland.
01:36I couldn't imagine that Mrs. Adela would not be in this book.
01:40That she would not tell her own story,
01:44in her own words,
01:46which is a unique story, full of passion.
01:49She is really the star of Leszna,
01:51but also the star of all Polish aviation.
01:54As they once admitted, by giving her a medal,
01:58she is the star, the queen of aviation,
02:02the queen of glider.
02:04I hope this meeting will allow her to tell even more
02:08than we revealed in the book.
02:11I hope she will reveal some interesting secrets to us.
02:14I think there should be more such meetings,
02:17because Mrs. Adela needs to be honored,
02:19she needs to be remembered,
02:21and we need to meet her
02:23and learn as much as possible from her.
