Default Red Bull Air Races in Detroit

I've never done the Red Bull, but we have several RB pilots in our
workgroup. Just from watching their films, considering the
sensitivity of their aircraft vs where they put their airplanes on
the course and what they do to position them there, these pilots have
my greatest respect.


What amazes me is how they can run a complicated course, performing
multiple maneuvers at high speed/high G, and end up being separated by
mere seconds, both from others and from their own times.


Of course it does. YOu have no imagination.
