This sunday, in Milan Linate's seaplane base, Red Bull organized the 3rd Red Bull Flugtag Italy. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions and distance from the ramp (I was in the press room for an aerospace engineering students association), the photos are not that great...

 

The ramp before the show:

Opening the show, Flying Bulls' TAH-1F Cobra:

The Duomo di Milano (most famous building in Milan, 2nd biggest church in Italy and 4th in the world) isn't able to fly...

If you look closely enoug, you'll see the Flugtag ramp (a small display by the Italian division of the Rolling Stones magazine):

Well we have fun watching these guys fall down, the only thing missing with the Goldrake pilot's position is the playing of Born to Be Wild ! Nevertheless, the work to build these "gliders" had to be huge... and to finish it in water in seconds.
