Monument to Steponas Darašius and Stasys Girėnas - Lithuanian pilots who in July 1933 attempted a non-stop flight on the New York-Kaunas route. After crossing the Atlantic, at 37 hours and 11 minutes of flight, when only 650 km to the destination, there was a disaster. The plane crashed near the village of Pszczelnik near Myślibórz. Both pilots died. Their history reminds us of the story of Franciszek Żwirka and Stanisław Wigura. The monument in a village remote from the crash site is not surprising. More Lithuanians than Poles live in Puńsk. Everyone here speaks both languages. Also in offices. On the obelisk there is a silhouette of Bellanc CH-300, named "Lituanica" by aviators. It is worth reading a bit about these brave airports.
