Guest Sql_pl Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 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: Dunno who brought a diver to an event like this! Red Bull Crew preparing the pylons: And then the show started: That was a beauty: That dude was crazy... and no it wasn't my camera that was upside down! Check out this Corsair: And here is the BEST part of whole event - Breitling Jet Team - guys, only one word for it... AMAZING!! 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 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? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Some very nice pictures. I've never seen a Corsair flying, must be a great sight! It's my local airshow this weekend, just had a Typhoon doing the rounds, followed by a P-51, Hurricane and Spitfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronoluvvv Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 if Breitling sponsors high flying air planes, then Panerai must sponsor slow murky submarines huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sweet shots. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. There was a race near here not too long ago but I didn't manage to get there...now I wish I had made a larger effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
