Today (Sunday) we headed to Interlaken to attend the Red Bull Air Race spending the whole day under the sun and watching aerobatic maneuvers. I have finally attended the show after watching it in NZ over the weekends.
The weather was perfect, actually very sunny, not a single cloud, I got sun burnt badly, (not as bad as the incident I had in NZ while skiing) but I will see tomorrow in the morning what will happen to the burns.
The whole air race was awesome, really cool (especially if you like aerobatics). We were expecting the race to be over the lake at Interlaken, but it was done over a runway instead. But the show was still cool!
The photos from the race are here. Duncan and I took photos using our cameras, Duncan took some of the videos with my camera at the start, while I used my SLR camera, then we swapped around after lunch time. So, can't remember who took what, but I guess mine would be the good pics.. :P To be fair, Duncan had good shots too, especially when he was capturing every millisecond using the fast shutter shooting and 2 gigs of memory :D Well, Duncan seemed to be having fun with the SLR, and my plans "to get him to buy one" seem to be working muhahaha.. soon I will have an SLR buddy in the same city.
I'll leave you until the next air show (in a couple of months), for now, here are some videos from today's show. By the way, none of the videos were edited, so the music is from the event.
This is the full loop that all pilots had to complete.
