The Air Race falls somewhere in between an actual legitimate sporting event and a Red Bull publicity stunt (and I'm thinking it's more weighted towards the latter), but whatever it is... it's RAD! Just imagine light little prop planes flying ridiculously fast and ridiculously low and making turns that seem like (and probably would) they'd make any normal person black out. It's awesome.
Arthur and I got ourselves a pretty good spot, standing about ankle-deep in the delightfully filthy Botafogo Bay water... right at the spot in the course where they did the loop-de-loop. Once again: RAD!
And they even started off the festivities with fighter-jet fly-by's and parachuter-stunts (complete with smoke bombs! Ooooooo...)
So I hung out for a couple hours, oddly did not see a single person drinking Red Bull, and then got on my bike and made airplane sounds with my mouth allllll the way home.
