Red Bull Racer Buzzes Tower

A Red Bull air racer pilot decides to give the controllers in this tower a treat by buzzing it several times much to the delight of one particular female controller. I hope no one loses their job over this video going public, especially as it is very entertaining for me.

WWII Spitfire vs. Red Bull racer

In a PR stunt to promote the Red Bull Air Races, a World War II era Supermarine Spitfire raced a MX2 Red Bull Air Race aircraft over the Solent and Isle of Wight in the English Channel. So who do you think won? It turns out the gal in green and grey put the MX2 through its paces on the 40 mile circuit and won by nearly 2 minutes. Both aircraft were being piloted by Red Bull team members who readily admitted the Spitfire cleans up on the straight away, but the MX2 will close the gap in a hurry in the turns. The whole stunt was staged to promote the upcoming Red Bull Air Race in London next month.
