I'm forever warped, I guess ... averse to and frightened of seeing airplanes flying near tall buildings ...

Ditto! At best, it looks like a crop dusting! Urban pests?

I agree, Judy - and we are only 10 days away from the 9/11 anniversary!

3:04 Maen! Seems like a scary place to have an air race!

IIRC, that's illegal in the US.

I am so relieved that I was not the only one who immediately thought of the terrible, terrible day that was 9/11, may God bless us all! Take care everyone and give thanks to be alive and free in this wonderful country of ours!

Jeb, you must be the first cousin of Murphy!

Nope, Joe, but I stayed close at hand with the ink blotter and the key to the liquor cabinet.

The Red Bull Air Race is an international low flying competition conducted at various venues around the world, usually over water. The competitors have to fly a complex pattern passing through inflatable pylons, some with wings level and some with wings vertical. It is a race against the clock. More...

That should have read 'There is also a penalty for hitting the pylon'

maen all! looks like a wild time! i like the red bull series where people make hang-glider type gizmos and fly them off piers. they still allow that in nyc. a friend won second prize(flying lessons) with his mighty mouse copter a few years back...his son used the lessons and i believe he's still flying occasionally.

One of my greatest regrets is that I never learned to fly. It must be truly exciting... but still flying amidst skyscrapers... is a bit too much of an adrenaline rush.

If its any comfort my American friends, its the first thing I thought of too.

We must all learn from our experiences, but if we let them sour our lives then they win! Look back at that photo & see the WOOHOO moment! It is pure joy, don't let them take it from us!
