Today I'm fortunate to be back in my hometown of Detroit, experiencing the Red Bull Air Races here on the downtown river front.
I'm here with my good friend Steve from Airspeed. (an excellent podcast, which I hope you listen to!) He asked me along to help out with podcasting duties this weekend, which of course I was happy to oblige.
Winds and turbulence have the racers calling this, "The Toughest Course Ever." Today's qualifier runs were canceled due to the winds gusting to 34 knots, yielding very turbulent conditions over the riverfront. (something you don't want when you're flying a knife edge, 30 feet above the water!)
