Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 i hate to say it but it seems rather dull actually, i find myself falling asleep watching it, they could probably make it more exciting by moving the cameras closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Just a little snippet i found on youtube about the Red bull airrace that i thought you all may find interesting, mostly because of the Spitty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeV13PdJzlw We Brits are good at everything, just everyone else puts more hard currency into it than us!!

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Lol good point! i dont think they do wear parachutes do they? that is basically admitting you don't trust the aircraft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Ireland Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Glider pilots wear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 But they are normally about 1000x higher than the 5m of an air racer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I presume they wear parachutes so they can bail out in case of a technical problem in a holding circuit. Obviously at the altitudes of the track they are useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Lewzey Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I suppose so. Its probably a precaution taken by the FAI just incase the plane is found to be unflyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 You don't get parachutes in a 747! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 A 747 has 4 engines, so is more reliable. (and yes, there are many counter arguments to this too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
