    Red Bull Air Race Coming to NYC June 19-20!

    Cue the politicians and NIMBYs flipping out: There will be planes racing up, down and around the Hudson River as the fifth race of the Red Bull season is held here on June 19th and 20th, 2010.

    Sounds like it will be staged in Liberty State Park. Should be VERY interesting.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    most likely that'll be the case. i was told by mike goulian's crew chief that in Abu Dhabi they were expected to land on a barge in the water: 1400ft long, and 20ft wide. must have been putting an extra or an edge down on that when you can't see past your nose.

    Looks like an interesting and fun summer coming up. RedBull, Jones Beach, Citywide AF Week and Angels in Coney Island.
    Kinda warms the heart and bones on these cold winter days.
    :D :D :D :D

    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Just put in for sat off
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
