Yakima arrives Victorious in Salzburg

We took a quick trip to Austria as a prize for winning the Red Bull Flugtag in Portland. They put us up in a swanky hotel in the middle of old Salzburg. We took a tour of Red Bull’s Hangar 7 and cruised around for the rest of the week.

Hangar-7 is an incredible glass structure housing a collection of Red Bull flying machines.

Flugtag

Tomorrow is the 2008 Portland Red Bull Flugtag and Yakima has an entry. Not saying what it is, just that it's BIGGER than BIG.They estimate 70,000 people will show up and watch us "fly" our machines off this 30' high barge into the sparkling Willamette. They measure who flys the furthest and we have reason to believe we can win this thing.

Today the place was empty, but tomorrow it will be full of people, boats, Red Bull, and carnage.
