Over the weekend, in Abu Dhabi, we enjoyed the kick off to the annual Red Bull Air Show along the Corniche. Pilots, cool airplanes, pristine waters of the Arabian Gulf, good friends and you’ve got a wonderful day.
According to the website {www.redbullrace.com}: The propeller-driven machines are highly maneuverable, pulling up into a vertical orientation at high speed with very little effort – something that even modern fighter jets can’t match.
We were fortunate to go to two viewing parties (in our former apartment building) overlooking the water and the race. We watched as the planes weaved in and out of the inflatable pylons, which have been improved for this year’s races, climb up to 150-200 meters in the sky, and zoom through two race laps to achieve their best time.
During the interval, there were acrobats ON TOP OF A PLANE doing hand-stands, wide-straddle hand-stands and other exciting maneuvers while the bi-plane zipped thru the sky for our entertainment. We always have FUN!
How was your weekend?
Aloha,
Denise
