Red Bull Air Race 2009 Final in Barcelona from Flightstory.net
This coming weekend, the Red Bull Air Race 2009 season finale will take place in Barcelona, Spain.
Barcelona is expected to be one of the most challenging races so far this year. With the track located on an open coastline, nature will play a role in the outcome. Sudden shifts in wind direction and ocean swells which could cause the Air Gates anchored to floating barges to rise and fall slightly will require the pilots to be extra vigilant in order to avoid costly time penalties.

Letters From War - Little Boys and Flying Dreams from Pacific Wings Magazine
By Don Harward
My earliest recollection of a chance meeting with the "flying bug" happened when I was six or seven years old. My father had taken me to the Baltimore civic centre for some sort of a technology show and some father-son personal time. While we were wandering inside that spacious building, I gazed at the various displays of technological wonder. We turned a corner and there it was right in front of me—a Bell 47 helicopter with its large Plexiglas bubble staring outward like some enormous praying mantis. The rope placed all around it was meant to keep people away, but it did nothing to stop me. I was drawn like a moth to a night-light and it pulled me ever closer.
