Those Wonderful Men In Their Flying Machines...Red Bull Flugtag
Crazy madness gripped Sydney as the Red Bull flugtag came to town. Man made, man powered flying machines of all shapes and sizes (seriously, when I say all shapes I mean all shapes - from hot dogs, to hang gliders, flip-flops to rockets) flung themselves of a 6m high ramp into the waters of Sydney Harbour.
Its a simple concept really. You design a flying machine and then drag it to the top of the ramp. do a little performance to please the crowd and the judges then see how far you can fly.
The Dragon from the Neverending Story (whatever his name is) did quite well.
Plans are already in the works for taking it on next year!!!
Road Runner on his famous ACME rocket was a complete failure.
Mr Bean also failed spectacularly!!! Minis can't fly - who'd have thought...
