Just got back from the Red Bull air race at monument valley in Arizona. It was my first visit to an air race and to be perfectly frank I found it to be nothing short of spectacular.
The venue was quite perfect (and so was the weather)... I would not be surprised if this air race series eventually gets as big as other forms of motor racing such as F1 in the future. The crowd was hugely enthusiastic and became increasingly motivated towards the end of the race.
Couple of questions for any of you guys in the know -
How do they move so much equipment around the world (aircraft included), do they crate everything to each venue ? The portable control tower is a decent amount of airfreight on its own. They also had their Swiss registered BK 105 and a Bell 206.
Can this be a profitable excercise considering the fact that most venues are free of charge ?
Just curious really as it most impressive
I am very impressed at the level of investment in the race series, for example, Redbull built a new Runway for the Navajo indians just so they could use it for the race at Monument Valley! Amazingly generous if you ask me.
