Red Bull Air Race - Detroit

[nwafan20]

Well folks, over at Detroit Spotters we are preparing diligently for the Red Bull Air Race this weekend on the Detroit waterfront (it still puzzles me why they chose Detroit as one of 2 American cities, and 1 of 7 world cities....) Either way, I have a 100-400 L rented, had my tickets for months (all sold out on the Detroit side for about a month now) and are set to leave the house at 0500 Saturday morning.

2 of our members, Andrew and Nick were out at the race site today to scope out the course. Here are some photos that Andrew took (posted with permission)
