Where is Stephen (Steve) Poleskie Now?

HERE ARE TWO photos of me flying my Pitts Special biplane over the Hudson River in front of the former World Trade Center towers for a performance I did in 1980. An article about my Aerial Theater performances, from the ITHACA TIMES, appears in the previous entry below. These photos can also be accessed from this article, but I have posted them here as news photos do not stay up too long on the Internet.

There is some interest in my Sky Art events again, and a book may eventually come out of it. If you have ever witnessed one of these events, in New York or anywhere else, please let me know. I would especially be interested to hear from people who have photographs. You can post a comment below, or e-mail me at SPoleskie@aol.com.

***********************************************************

Several people have sent in questions about the above photographs. One of the questions is "Are these photos real?" The answer is definately, Yes.

In the 1980's I did a number of performances over US cities, including New York City, Richmond, Toledo, and San Francisco using my Pitts Special aerobatic biplane, which is pictured with me below. These events were viewed by a wide audience. Strange as it may seem, at my event in Sonoma, California a UFO even appeared. An article about this sighting from the Berkeley Gazette can be found on the web or in the archives of this blog. It is also mentioned in Jeffery Mishlove's book The PK Man.

I also did a number of performances using my twin engine airplane, a Piper Apache, which I was also able to take passengers up in with me. An article about this, and a photograph of the airplane also are below.

APOGEE AIRWAY

THE MAY 1986 ISSUE OF ART NOW/NEW YORK GALLERY GUIDE carried this profile of APOGEE AIRWAY. The French art critic Pierre Restany is shown with me in front of  my Piper Apache just prior to taking a flight from Teterboro Airport on May 14, 1984. Restany was just one of several art critics to fly with me, others included Peter Frank and Donald Kuspit.

NEW FEATURE: When you get to the bottom entry you will find a new feature. If you click on << Older Entries, you can keep scrolling through previous postings without resorting to searching the archives. Try it, it works well, and I won't have to keep recycling entries that I think people should see, but don't have the patience to hunt up in the files.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

  Is this real?  If so you are fantastic!  When I was a kid I watched 'sky wirters' as they wrote 'Coco Cola' or 'Pepsicola' in the air.  I thought that was wonderful!
  I am glad I ran across this. Jack
