| has gloss | eng: A Lomcovák is an aerobatic maneuver that can be performed by an aeroplane. The word originates from the Czechoslovakian aerobatic pilot Ladislav Bezáks mechanic, who at a 1958 air show in Brno, Czechoslovakia jokingly called Bezáks tumble maneuvres "Lomcovaks" when asked by journalists what they were. According to Miroslav A. Liškutín, a Czechoslovak fighter pilot, veteran of the RAF (Personal No.: 787 424/158 235), this manouevre was flown by himself and other pilots on Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann/Aero C-4 biplanes at early post-WWII period air shows around Czechoslovakia and it was called "talířek" (small saucer) due to the horizontal rotary movement of the aircraft. |
