In 2009 Roman took a brief secondment as a deputy minister of transport in a technocratic government. Flying was a childhood dream that became true for Roman. I usually fly abroad with a Cessna P210N OK-TGM. The “TGM“ designation , which is the acronym of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk- First President of Czechoslovakia, brought me to the idea of flying around the world on the 100th anniversary of our independence as a part of patriotism.
