April 16, 201015 yr I love these races, looking forward to my first one in person this year. Anyways, seen a few pylons clipped, canopies come undone, ect. But this guy takes first prize in the crash your plane into the water race. Lucky SOB! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaJEDl7HwII
April 16, 201015 yr Well, when they do stuff like this, you'd imagine something like that to eventually happen. Can't see the video, but I'm online at base
April 16, 201015 yr I did the training... water... it's helpful... a lot... today... He's Brazilian. I bet his English is better than your Spanish.
April 16, 201015 yr He's Brazilian. I bet his English is better than your Spanish. 2....except Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish.
April 16, 201015 yr He's Brazilian. I bet his English is better than your Spanish. Haha. Irony. Lost.
April 16, 201015 yr Haha. Irony. Lost. Nah. I bet his English AND his Spanish are both better than your Portugese.
April 16, 201015 yr Wow. Good to see he's OK, and big kudos to the divers who went in and got him out.
April 16, 201015 yr Nah. I bet his English AND his Spanish are both better than your Portugese. Definitely better than your jokes! Zing
April 16, 201015 yr Call me gay, but the sweet sounds of Shepard Smith could put me to sleep. To steal a bit from Family Guy..."Coming up next: Handsome man recaps news in pleasing baritone...more on that...later."

April 17, 201015 yr Definitely better than your jokes! Zing Fair enough. My point stands...this guy's obviously a good pilot, it's obvious that he was very lucky to escape this incident with no more than minor scrapes and bruises, and the first thing Sky_King thinks of is his accent.
April 19, 201015 yr Author Saw that a few days after it happened, although not that particular video. There's a bunch of different angles on it, almost hit some folks in the field. Rough stuff. At first glance, its very reminiscent of the T-Bird at Mountain Home. Godspeed edit: taking out speculation Edited April 19, 201015 yr by contraildash
June 6, 201015 yr Holy Sh(*!! https://www.freep.com/article/20100605/SPORTS16/100605019/Near-crash-into-Detroit-River-at-the-Red-Bull-Air-Race good thing he rolled out right before hitting the water... that could have gone MUCH worse.
June 6, 201015 yr There's much better video over at the Red Bull website. Tons of slo-mo cameras from multiple angles that show just how close he came to not flying out of that. I used to fly with Hall at Seymour when he was on his exchange tour -- a great dude and an equally great pilot. Happy to see him get out of that one unscathed. Edited June 6, 201015 yr by Hacker
