RED BULL FLUGTAG LANDS ON CANADA’S CAPITAL

Human-powered flying machines hit the runway in Ottawa-Gatineau on August 3

Ready for takeoff?

Red Bull Flugtag 2008 is set to land over the Ottawa River on Sunday, August 3rd, 2008. In case you don’t already know, Flugtag is German for “flying day”, but more importantly, it stands for a bunch of creative geniuses strapping themselves to totally outrageous home-made, human-powered flying machines and launching off a 30-foot ramp into the wild blue yonder, or alternatively, straight into the Ottawa River. This is only the second time Red Bull Flugtag will descend on Canada having made its first stop in Vancouver in 2006.

Above are ‘Sushi Gone Wild’, ‘Butterfly’, and a previous winner of Flugtag ‘Big Shooter’
