The Skyfox chopper caught some fun footage today for all you aviation fans. The Bed Bull stunt plane took off from the deck of the Midway and spent ten minutes doing some daring loop-de-loops around the bay.
It's take-off is remarkable. It becomes something close to a helicopter as it suddenly goes into a steep climb from the deck. This is raw unedited footage so bear with the occasional fumbling of the camera on the helicopter. They managed to captured some great shots.

 Red Bull Stunt Plane 8/8/07
The Skyfox chopper shot some footage of the Red Bull stunt plane rehearsing before a big air show. This raw, unedited footage follows the plane from it's spectacular take-off from the deck of the Midway to it's landing. Runs 10 min. |
My dad loved planes although we were rarely up in the skies ourselves as a family. Our trips were usually car treks, filled with lots of sturm und drang...whatever that means. It can't be good from the sound of it.
But dad would often times drag us to the local airport and park the car outside the fence by the landing strip on a quiet evening and we would sit there with our Dairy Queen treats and watch the planes take-off and land. Yes, it was every bit as exciting as it sounds...but those Dilly Bars were tasty.
Here's some more airshow video from our archives, in honor of my dad. Unwrap a Dilly and enjoy.
