Would YOU take this flight? 宙返り飛行-the-宙返り飛行s, バーレル/樽 rolls and 200mph 急落(する),激減(する)s... stomach-churning ビデオ 明らかにする/漏らすs what it's like to take to the skies for the Red Bull 空気/公表する Race

  • Malaysian 空気/公表する 軍隊 操縦する puts reporter through his paces
  • 闘士,戦闘機 jet stunt masterclass was held ahead of Red Bull 空気/公表する Race in Croatia
  • 乗客s 支配するd to 200mph 速度(を上げる) and four G's of 軍隊

'Would you like to 飛行機で行く the 計画(する) now?' asks the 操縦する with what I (悪事,秘密などを)発見する is a small chuckle.

I'm just trying to reacquaint myself with our old friend the horizon after coming out of a 巨大(な) 宙返り飛行-the-宙返り飛行, 3,000ft above the ground.

I'm sitting in the 前線 of a tiny two-seater 計画(する) that is designed to do the 肉親,親類d of 曲芸 that put your 地元の circus 行為/法令/行動する to shame.

Behind me at the 支配(する)/統制するs is Datuk Halim Othman, a Malaysian 空気/公表する 軍隊 操縦する whose office is often the 操縦室 of a jet-闘士,戦闘機. He's definitely the 最高の,を越す Gun in this 共同.

So, yes, I think I'll leave the 飛行機で行くing bit to you, thanks Halim.

I've been 申し込む/申し出d this unique 適切な時期 during a trip to the Red Bull 空気/公表する Race in Rovinj, a beautiful terracotta-topped town on the northern coast of Croatia.

'You must eat a good, solid breakfast. Bacon and eggs,' advised Paul Bonhomme - Britain's 吊りくさび Hamilton of the skies - the previous night.

平易な for you to say, mate. After nibbling my way through some fruit and toast, it's time to 長,率いる for the hangar.

The RedBull 空気/公表する Race takes place over several different events throughout the year - the next one will be at 王室の Ascot in August - and is a visual spectacle unlike any other.

連合させるing high 速度(を上げる) and low 高度 it is a wonder to behold from the ground, as some of the world's most exceptional 操縦するs guide their 計画(する)s through an 空中の racetrack featuring 空気/公表する-filled pylons in the fastest possible time, incurring as few 刑罰,罰則s as possible.

Flying low: The race involves aircraft taking on a variety of tight twists and turns as they negotiate a course

飛行機で行くing low: The race 伴う/関わるs 航空機 taking on a variety of tight 新たな展開s and turns as they 交渉する a course

The world turns upside down: Mike keeps composed as the Red Bull jet performs a stomach-churning 360 degree loop above Croatia

The world turns upside 負かす/撃墜する: マイク keeps composed as the Red Bull jet 成し遂げるs a stomach-churning 360 degree 宙返り飛行 above Croatia

The safety 要点説明 I receive is pretty straightforward: keep your 注目する,もくろむs on the horizon, 緊張した your 団体/死体 when the G-軍隊 攻撃する,衝突するs you and please don't be sick in the 操縦室 (there's a 捕らえる、獲得する on the 味方する if the worst happens).

As we walk to the 計画(する) (an Extra 330 LX, for any of you reading this with a 操縦する’s licence), I try to 避ける looking at the bloke from Austria who flew before me and is now 低迷d on a sofa with a 直面する that is 概略で the same shade as a Granny Smith apple.

Fitted in a flight 控訴 with a パラシュート(で降下する) on my 支援する, I pull on the helmet through which I can also hear Halim dish out advice. I suddenly feel rather small as the canopy is の近くにd above our 長,率いるs.

'Flight No 4, please taxi to the 滑走路 for take off.'?

There's no going 支援する now.

Acrobatics: The planes perform the stunts at low altitudes so the crowds can watch from below

曲芸: The 計画(する)s 成し遂げる the stunts at low 高度s so the (人が)群がるs can watch from below

We’re off the ground in just a few seconds and soon rising はっきりと to the left above the emerald waters of the Adriatic.

In the distance - 注目する,もくろむs 直す/買収する,八百長をするd 堅固に on the horizon - I 位置/汚点/見つけ出す the uncompromising racecourse for the プロの/賛成のs. I may have dodged that, but I'm about to have a small taste of what they do.

'Enjoying the 見解(をとる)?' asks Hamil.

'Yes.'

'Ready for some moves?'

'Erm, I think s...'

Before I've had time to 追加する the 'o', we dive 負かす/撃墜する はっきりと に向かって the trees below. It's 宙返り飛行-the-宙返り飛行 time.

It is a world 選手権 that was 開始する,打ち上げるd in 2005. 操縦するs race 特に-designed 計画(する)s through and around 空気/公表する-filled pylons on a course. Whoever finishes in the quickest time 勝利,勝つs, with points for all those in the 最高の,を越す eight.

'緊張する' 警告するs Hamil.

He then 解除するs the 計画(する)'s nose 上向きs so all we have in 前線 of us is cloud. The G-軍隊 kicks in - I get the feel of four Gs (the プロの/賛成のs experience 10 when they 宙返り飛行 in the races - 'it's like 存在 sat on by an elephant' is Bonhomme's 判決).

It's an amazing sensation as gravity pins me 支援する in my seat. Keeping my 注目する,もくろむs locked ahead, a few seconds later the water and then the trees come 支援する into my now deranged 見解(をとる). It's like someone's turned the world inside out inside my 長,率いる.

After another 宙返り飛行-the-宙返り飛行 (why not?), Hamil switches to a バーレル/樽-roll - tipping the 計画(する) to the 権利 and turning it 360 degrees until it's 支援する level again. The manoeuvre turns the land below into a distorted ball of trees. It's the first time my stomach (犯罪の)一味s the doorbell to ask what's going on.

He survived!: Mike gives crew another thumbs-up as he lands safely back on land after his daredevil ride

He 生き残るd!: マイク gives 乗組員 another thumbs-up as he lands 安全に 支援する on land after his daredevil ride

'More バーレル/樽-rolls?' asks Hamil.?

'I think one's enough fella...'

He 勝利,勝つd the 計画(する) 負かす/撃墜する and 負かす/撃墜する in a 一連の sharp left turns before 爆破ing 今後 at 200mph just 25m off the ground through a 始める,決める of 空気/公表する-filled pylons like those used on the real course.?

Two days later, I watch on from my 見地 on the bay of Rovinj as Bonhomme 行方不明になるs out on winning the final by 0.08s. I have a new-設立する 尊敬(する)・点 for these daredevils in the sky.

You can do the same at Ascot next month. And with your feet 堅固に on the ground, you won't have to worry about keeping your 注目する,もくろむs on the horizon.
