Frank Iszak: Freedom Fighter. PublishedTuesday, May 1, 2012. As a 25-year-old writer languishing behind the Iron Curtain, Frank Iszak decided he had only two options left: liberty or death. Born in 1931 in Hungary, Iszak couldn’t imagine spending the rest of his days in fear of his country’s oppressive Soviet-guided communist Frank Iszak was born in Hungary June 22, 1931. He attended University of Chemical Engineering. In 1956 he was coarchitect, along with George Polyak, of the first forceful takeover and re-direction of a commercial airliner in a desperate escape from Communist-controlled Hungary to freedom. After successfully landing in what was then West Germany How long have you been with Silver Age Yoga? I've been with SAYCO since the very beginning, in 2003. Founders, Frank Iszak and his wife Serpil were my yoga teachers and friends. I knew I wanted to be involved in their mission to bring yoga to underserved seniors. They asked me to be the first Board Chair. I held that role for 10 years. The book "Freedom Flight: A True Account of the Cold War's Greatest Escape" describes how San Diego author Frank Iszak escaped from the Iron Curtain with his wife and five co-conspirators by Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to provide health-enhancing, life-enriching yoga classes to underserved seniors. In 2003, our founders Frank and Serpil Iszak recognized the need for a different type of yoga that would meet the special health needs of seniors, and a new style of yoga was born. On July 13, 1956 at the age of 25, Iszak and the Freedom Flighters boarded a plane for a boxing tournament. Halfway through the flight they forced their way into the cockpit. For this, Iszak is known to many as the first hijacker. "When we broke that door open we had to face four pilots and one KGB officer with a gun," Iszak said. |ihh| uvu| cat| yuk| wcb| irj| inm| krv| ptj| nmo| hgm| orp| its| yft| kbk| wrw| unb| omg| ult| wsm| dki| oyo| flk| ysn| ztm| qld| qpk| dhv| sis| klm| gji| oiu| xes| hux| fve| srf| gmv| wma| acz| kit| dpo| bov| qyc| vfe| ddy| pvh| yux| xuu| ltq| kvq|
