	Jurgis Kairys Brings Home the Cup, At Last
		When Jurgis asked Mikka if he was coming to Lithuania to watch him fly upside down under a bridge, Mikka wanted to know who was going to be there.
		Jurgis told him there would be over a hundred thousand people, CNN, a lot of Euro channels, and every TV camera in Lithuania.
		The screen would change from Jurgis' sagging face and lolling head to a view where the earth is where the sky should be, and it looks like a fly-by of the moon in a space craft.

	The Ten Bridges of Vilnius
		So I was not really surprised when I noticed Jurgis Kairys standing next to me at the luggage carousel after coming off a plane in Vilnius recently.
		Of course, Kairys did a bit more than just fly under a bridge: he had a permit to fly under ten bridges, an almost unimaginable achievement.
		Kairys didn't have problems getting a permit-the Prime Minister of Lithuania was on the Soviet aerobatic team with Kairys, back in the days when the Empire was administered in Moscow, not Brussels.
