    In the Air

     

    I was in the air! A rare opportunity to find out what it feels like to fly in the Red Bull Air Race by going for a ride as a passenger with Pilot Sergio Pla in an Extra 300L. An experience I will never forget.

     

    I was nervous at first with a look of fear on my face but landed with a smile on landing.

     

    The Red Bull Air Race World Championship features the world's best race pilots in a motor sports competition that combines speed, precision and skill.

     

    Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial track made up of air-filled pylons, flying at speeds reaching 230 mph while withstanding forces of up to 12G.
