Exciting Air Races

This is one of the more exciting air races. The Pylons have different colors which demand the pilot be at that altitude when going through the pylons. The race is man and machine against time.. Winners usually are around the 56 to 57 second mark. Many of the pilots are pulling 9+ Gs in their little speed machines. They carry just enough fuel to do the race and a tad bit extra.. It takes deep pocketed sponsors or your own private oil company to compete.. I like this type of racing and would have at one time been very happy to compete... but alas my pockets were never deep enough...! Also the second bird that hits the water and flips.... I do not know if the pilot got out or not ? Those who play sometimes have to pay.. There is a Buddhist saying that goes something like, "when you die you die". which has a deeper meaning than just reading the words..



Looks easy from a comfortable stadium seat no ?
