Apart form that, Vodopivec Sr made another feat when he successfully landed a hijacked plane in 1959 on the line Tivat, Montenegro-Belgrade, while one of the passengers was holding a pistol pointed to his head.

- Vladimir is a real professional and a phenomenal person! Whenever there is a problem during the flight it is extremely important that there is no panic in the cabin, that the communication line is good and that the pilot is calm. Vladimir took the best of the situation with the burning plane - said the pilot Borislav Plasković, Vladimir's friend.
