è il ritratto di Bogdan Kulka "The lst free hang-glider pilot", l'ultimo pilota libero di parapendio. Fu una delle più colorate e controverse personalità del mondo sportivo polacco. Arrivato secondo nella Coppa Icare 97, fu condannato per i suoi disperati voli notturni nella nebbia. Autore apprezzato per i suoi articoli su "Aviaton Review", creò pupazzi osceni con i genitali fluttuanti nell'aria. Fotografo e proprietario di due laboratori, padre di due figli avuti da una donna che rifiutò di sposare. Affascinato dal mito di Icaro morì in un esasperato volo planato a spirale che non fermò nemmeno vicino al suolo.
