Got back from Budapest and finally got round to choosing some pics I could share.

Arrived in Budapest on tuesday evening... here is a great view of Chain Bridge at night:

This is the bridge under which next day they had to fly to start their race... crazy!

Managed to book a great hotel with a balcony facing Danube, Parliament and race:

Hungarian Parliament Building:

This seemed a more appropriate choice:

All in all great event - if there is one near you do not hesitate to go and see it. There is going to be one in Porto next week and another one in Barcelona - the one that finishes this season.

Thanks for looking!

And now we know why gen Briets cost what they do! That B25 alone is about 10 grand per air hour so imaging what a fleet of jet trainers costs to sponser.

Nice pics mate. I'm going to try to make Perth next year.

The lucky(?)devils flying rear seat in those jets all won competitions! Nice prize hey?
