Farnborough show coverage - bringing magazine design to the web from Flightglobal

BUDAPEST RED BULL AIR RACE CANCELLED from Mike Goulian Airshows 
A 6 year tradition comes to an end as Red Bull Air Race GmbH cancels the race in Budapest, Hungary. The race cancellation comes as a surprise following the cancellation of the Portugal race only a week ago. With just the race in Germany remaining for the 2010 season all of the racing teams will have to step it up to win the last race. The announcement about the Budapest race comes as a particular disappointment to Team #99 as it was a victorious race for us in 2009. We hope to return to both Budapest and Portugal next year and look forward to the announcement of the 2011 schedule following the race in Germany in only a couple of weeks.
For the official press release from Red Bull Air Race GmbH regarding the cancellation please read below or visit www.redbullairrace.com.

Chapter 3 of AcroCamp from Life on the Road as a Pilot
Day 1, or “The Flying Begins.” | So as I was being too scared to say I was too scared, the instructor, Barry, and I arrived out over an uncongested area to begin. Barry had me fly around for a bit, getting used to the airplane with some stalls and steep turns and such (which I do in the Citation X as well, but they’re not the same because of the extra engine, airframe design, etc). Then he demonstrated some wingovers, which, according to this Warbird website, featuring a cool graphic, are a common maneuver for attitude and position recovery after a diving attack. Especially after a diving attack on a ground target. ...
