Algimantas Zentelis

Algimantas, who is affectionately known as Algis, is 50 years old and has been flying for over 31 years when he started learning to fly on gliders at just 19 years of age.

Having perfected gliding, Algis then wanted to fly aircraft with engines and indeed progressed on to jet engines and for two years flew the training jet fight – the L-29 Delfin.  Since then, Algis has flown nearly all types of light aircraft including twin engine aircraft, all the aircraft in the Yak family, the An-2 and a variety of other single engine aircraft.   

However, his passion has been for aerobatic flying and Algis carried out most of his early days of aerobatic training in a Zlin-326A.  He has become a very competent world class aerobatic pilot and the Global Stars Aerobatic Team are very proud to have him as a member.
