At the Red Bull Air Race and International Air Show in Budapest
So here's the skinny. The annual Red Bull Air Race and International Air Show holds its pivotal race in Budapest over the Danube. The obstacle course was designed as a new aviation race that would challenge the ability of the world’s best pilots - not simply speed, but also precision and skill.
It. was. awesome. (And even more awesome, American pilot Michael Goulian won.)
Brennon, Patrick, Brandt, Marti, Steve and Zeke: we thought of you!
Showing off their moves...
Swan dives...
Video we took of one plane flying circles around the other three!
As part of the qualifying round they have fly UNDER the bridge. (And above the water, of course.) Can we zoom in on that?
Oh yes, we can!

I never thought an air show was something I'd be interested in, but we went to one once in Atlanta, and it was totally cool. My dad, who's done photography for years, says this is a really hard thing to get good photos of, so kudos to you!
And besides the amazing photo of the plane under the bridge, that is just astounding that they can do that!!
Coolio! I went to an airshow here in Bangalore once and enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would! I can't imagine what it must be like to be actually flying those planes!
I wish I were there with my friend Nikon D90 and my 18-200mm lens. Oh how fun!!
