It Was Amazing
It could very well be the most exciting air race around -- the
Red Bull Air Race in Hungary. Eight of the world’s finest
aerobatic pilots flew across downtown Budapest Thursday and Friday
-– over the Danube and right past the Parliament –- in
a breathtaking competition with one another and against the clock.
Flying the track between Budapest’s Chain and Margaret
bridges, the aerobatic aircraft reached speeds of up to 400 kph.
The winner: Kirby Chambliss, USA, second ranked Klaus Schrodt, GER
and third place for the local hero Peter Besenyei.
