Windsor race getting closer!



Red Bull Air Race Team Muroya report.

For those who might wonder, "how do these high tech race planes get from race to race". Well, sometimes disassembled and flown in a jumbo jet or in a container over the ocean and sometimes they fly there. Between San Diego and Windsor the planes have gone mostly to some place to have modifications and will all converge on Windsor by June 7th.

Race 31 is typical. Some work has been done which we hope will improve our team results in the coming races. Now the plane is being flown from California to Windsor by TC Robert. Yesterday he stopped at Chandler near Phoenix for the night and was looked after by Team Chambliss. Today he has flown as far as Guthrie, Oklahoma and Race 31 is hangered at the Zivko factory, home of the Zivko Edge, together with Hannes Arch's plane. Hannes' plane was trucked there for repair from San Diego following his bird strike incident.

In a day or two Race 31 should be in Windsor after the 1900 nautical mile flight from California.
