Title says it all.
There is a Thread running on "the other site" about promoting GA to the wider public, and if the Red Bull Air Race is a good opportunity to do so. Apparently Red Bull are just NOT INTERESTED AT ALL in promoting the activity that promotes their own product.....

I think that any good publicity about flying is better than none, but dont understand the Red bull attitude in this respect. I do think that the Aviation organisations (AOPA/PFA? perhaps) should be promoting themselves and our hobby/sport at events like Red Bull AirRace to get the public on our side. Even if it doesnt actually make poeple take up flying, it is portraying Aviation in a positive light.
