You know as cool as I think the Red Bull Air Racing is - and it really is some of the most outstanding flying I've ever seen - I have no desire to actually go to one of those events and possibly see something I just don't ever want to see again.

"I broke one of my own rules. I actually looked into my own turn."

Hmmm.

Like some other good advice I read today - "Don't try to score your own bombs."

Wow!

I think my odds of dying at a Red Bull Air Race as a spectator are probably a couple hundred times less than the likelihood I'll be run over by a texting teen.

I think I'll take my chances with getting chopped in half by an Edge 540.. thumbsup
