Ive just got back from the Redbull Air Race and i would like to say to those people who didnt take up Andys offer of 2 free tickets or couldnt that you missed a great day out,Longleat is a great place to hold it with superb views of the course and boy did those planes get pretty close to the crowd.I cant remember the number of times i held my breath as i thought the pilots had made a mess of it and lost control.I will say that as a spectater sport this wins hands down against any other type of motorsport as you can see whats going on all of the time(not just one corner),forget your Moto GP and F1 this sport is cooler than Penguin piss.
Well I had the tickets from Andy, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As Wayne says, a top day out - and for free. Those guys are supremely skilled, and even I as someone who works in the industry was impressed with their aerobatics.
Longleat is lovely, but there are too many trees! I got some decent shots of the aircraft as they hurtled about at 350 miles an hour between the gates, though many are blurred due to the crazy speeds and the limited panning oportunities cuz of the trees.
All in all a great day. Andy, you're a star. _________________ MC21SP Plaything
