Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on June 01, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Mathias Rust! You've always had a knack for making an unforgettable entrance—especially that legendary landing near Moscow's Red Square in 1987. Who else could turn international airspace into their personal parking spot?

Your daring flight remains timelessly impressive, proving once and for all that sometimes the shortest route between two points is simply ignoring every rule along the way. Here's to you soaring through another year with humor, courage, and perhaps fewer unexpected landings.

Wishing you clear skies ahead—and may your next adventure be just as memorable (but maybe slightly more legal). Happy birthday!
