Now this man could tell you a thing or two about how it is living where he came from.


Almost 30 years after he built his own plane to escape Communist Czechoslovakia, 51-year old Ivo Zdarsky is living in an airplane hangar on 400 acres of Utah desert.

Sounds like he has a pretty good set-up if solitude is your thing.

Sure, he seems mechanically inclined. His lifestyle, which he's absolutely entitled to, sounds God awful to me though. Glad he's happy. What's the political angle or controversy though?

He escaped Communist Czechoslovakia in 1984 He was a aviation engineering student in Prague and was designing propellers got frustrated with the Gov because they would not let him start his own business or have an opinion or give him a Exit visa.
So he built a plane and escaped to Vienna where he asked for Political Asylum.
