museum’s permanent exhibition, recalling his grandfather who flew them, while also holding his dad’s pilot’s cap. That’s because Marko’s father, Svetislav Vranić, is also a pi- lot. He started his flying career in the early 1980s, when, at the age of just 16, he be- gan piloting gliders and light aircraft at the Aero Club, only to continue his education and graduate from the pilot academy. He sat behind the controls of the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 planes. Starting his career as a co-pilot, he today captain’s Air Serbia’s Airbus A330 long-haul airliner, which con- nects Serbia with America. Captain Vranić proudly relays the flight ex- perience and knowledge he has acquired to future generations of young pilots. A love of flying has long been in the heart of his son, Marko, who he will support wholeheart-
edly if he pursues his dream of flying, be- coming the third generation of pilots in the Vranić family. - One day I’d also like to fly. I want to be like my dad. I really love being on a plane, I feel like a bird, free among the clouds. As a pi- lot, I would get to visit various countries, make a lot of friends and learn about oth- er nations. I already have a large number of model planes, small and large. They’re all different, but I love them all equally. I also have one that is special to me and that I’d like to handle one day - the Airbus A380. I know I’m awaited by a lot of training, be- coming a pilot isn’t easy. And until then I go to school, learn and imagine, like other chil- dren, and I’m still delighted when my dad brings me some new toy from his travels, says little Marko, gazes skywards.
