FlugTag5 Comments

Today is the Red Bull Flugtag. It’s an event where people construct crazy flying/gliding contraptions and launch them over water to see how far they make it. I’m not sure if I’ll be in attendance or not, but it certainly sounds like fun.

If you want to see what this is all about, there’s always YouTube.

Update: I did make it out for this, and it was fun if not a little unimpressive. Something tells me the originators in Austria would be a little disappointed with our version.

    This was fun. I’m glad we went. :)
    My favorite was still the green spinning one.

    I know it may not have been as exciting as expected (for the viewers, as well as for the people who crashed way too soon into the water), but a summer afternoon/evening outside is always a good thing in my book, esp. when it involves a quasi-picnic.
