Redbull Air Race: London

Jeff, Mel and myself made our way out to the track near the Millennium Dome, it was a bit of a struggle after Nicole's birthday drinks the night before but we made it on time. We had standing tickets but managed to score some really good seats anyway with a great view of the course. The planes were amazing flying in at around 400kmph and negotiating the course in about 1 and a half minutes. After flying through the chicanes one plane flew in too hot and looked like it was heading straight for us, luckily for us it managed to pull back towards the course. They also had a lynx helicopter that was breathtaking, it was doing loops and barrel rolls which just doesn't look right for a helicopter, a red bull one was also doing some acrobatics with the musical score from psycho playing over the loud speakers. Overall it was one of the best events I have been to so far in London.
