Morning everyone!

I’m back from a fabulous weekend in San Diego where I attended the US leg of the 2007 Air Race World Series – here’s part one of my trip report:

That is not just a hotel. That's a dream residence. :gut:

Hi John,

I watched the Red Bull Air Race this year in april in Abu Dhabi.

You may click on the following link:

Bilder meiner Stadt, meines Dorfes ..... (http://www.r-l-x.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=44064&threadview=0&hilight=&hilightuser=12164&page=5)

If you scroll down you can see some more pics. The pilots are doing a fantastic job. I assume the setup was more or less the same.
Before the race startet, a helicopter with a camera flew on the course and you could see those images on big Jumbo-Screens.

The planes -or at least a few of them- also had cameras.

However, a spectacular event and no entrance fee and free Red Bull :D

Greetings, Juergen

Hi Juergen!

Fantastic photos! The set up in San Diego is much as you describe - Part III of this report will have actual photos from race day (Sat.).

Ahh, fantastic!

That brought back memories. I spent about two months in San Diego some time ago. One of the greatest times of my life: high school buddies, a cute girlfriend, California weather, lots of beaches...

Thanks for sharing your pics - looking forward to the race day pics!

Cheers-
Nico
