Default Barcelona Red Bull Airplane Races






They were setting up for the races the first weekend we were there and they were to take place the following weekend.
My son said it was the world championships. Awesome to see in person.

Check out some of the youtube video. Sharp turns, loops, pulling up to 10 G's.

Cool video. I've seen it on TV a few times. It's amazing. They're very good, crazy, but good.

During the little bit I saw of the Abu Dhabi race, one guy got DQ'd for pulling 13.2 G's.

Apparently they can't exceed 10G by the rules. Gee, ya think?

I think it was on Fox Sports Network here.

Edit:

Abu Dhabi Final 4

Apparently they were talking about last year. He exceeded the G's for too long.

And they were concerned about inspecting the plane.

13.2, that's James Bond numbers there!
