Good on Paul.

These guys are great competitors. I was there for the qualifying yesterday and saw some GREAT action in very challenging conditions. Winds were gusting to 24 kph. Awesome show. Go if you have the chance!

A sensational well organized day out! The flying was fantastic, more polished of course than qualifying that had a steady 28 kts gusting 35 to contend with!

Capped off with a phenomenal fireworks display with the BF105 right in the thick of it throwing out his own pyro's, it couldn't get any better.

The weather was sensational and the Red Bull marketing machine in true form.

Well done one and all, Abu Dhabi....it just doesn't get any better than this!

Here is a small sample, there will be plenty more to come. Will tweak them for the web tonight.

Can't agree more with all of you. The wind could have helped...
