Red Bull Air Racer Performs In Extra Monoplane

With the Red Bull racing season closed out, and no racing planned for next year, some of the pilots who flew the Red Bull circuit are getting ready to fly airshows around the country.

Mike Goulian says he has a couple of dates on the calendar on the East Coast yet in August ... the Westfield International Airshow on the 21st and the Boston/Portsmouth Airshow August 28th.

"The MGAS Relocation Pilot, David Kicklighter delivered our EXTRA from Florida this afternoon just in time for the Westfield Air Show this weekend," Goulian wrote on his blog Tuesday. "I got a practice flight in just before dark on Tuesday and and will do two more on Wednesday prior to heading out to Westfield in the afternoon.

"HUGE thanks to Kramer Upchurch and Southeast Aero for completing the repair to our wing in record time. Kramer is a great friend to our team and he came through for us. The repairs were extensive and their gang worked long hours to enable us to fly this weekend. Big shout out boys!"
