Race of the raging bulls

04th of Nov marked the annual Red Bull Air Race in Perth. Swan river was thronged with heaps and heaps of peeps. We were baked and roasted under Perth's summer heat. As of every race, they had a runway strip and tower built. We camped near Mills Point and eventually moved closer to where the grand stand was. There we had a better view of aircrafts coming in at speeds up to 400km/hr. Most of the guys managed to average in about 1min17s. The French with Russian name champ came in at about 1min15s.

My vivid recollections

What's news?
Did my Albany nav with the rest of the guys the other day and it was hella fuN! About 360km down south, Albany was overcast and grrrrr... chilly. We brought food and drinks and had a little brunch in the airport terminal. The pictures says it all. Mind you, we DID NOT formation fly but came in at regular intervals ok! The CTAF frequency that day was filled with weird and funny noises. A blessing it was a saturday!
