Detroit-"It gives you wings"

[capriceman]

one word Amazing!

This weekend was the Red Bull Air Race in Detroit. It was crazy. They put on a very good show and had much more then just air racing. they had helicopter stunts and sky divers and military aircraft flybys. They had a F-4U fly in formation with a F-18. that takes some skill there. Then the F-18 did a mach .98 fly by. Also had a B-25 flyby. Crazy stuff. I cant wait till next year. Did any of you get to make it?

There must of been 200,000 people there easily.

Forgot the camera but i will find some on the net and post them.

I went to the finals on Sunday. It was totally awesome! We were on the Canada side right where the planes did the S after coming through the starting gate. They flew by us at like 230 mph!

We didn't have any trouble getting back, but my roommate said it took him 4 hours to get back through the tunnel! Ouch

Zone 6 eh?

I was in Zone 5 on the Canada side. last minute thing. It took us about 2 hours to get across the bridge. coming in though ,lol i was held for 6 hours being questioned and searched. Im really surprised they let me in.
