The Red Bull Air Race


Daniel, Auston, Kolby, Chandra and I all went to the Air Race on the San Diego Bay. It was really awesome. We all had fun. It was great to hang out with Chandra for a day and get to know her better. We are sisters in Christ. She is a great person. Were were excited to watch how the pilots would fly through the obstacle course. They would start off at almost 250 - 300 miles per hour, FAST. Then have to do a course that was made out of these cool air balloons. If they hit one of them they would get a penalty and new one would have to blown up.

Here is a picture of Chandra and I. Getting more and more excited for the race to begin. There were lots of people there. We were on the South Embarcadaro side. Next time I think we would like to try and get tickets on Coronado Island. We had some tree problems at times. Again, that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves.

When the pilot was ready to start the race they would be told "smoke on" and they plane would turn on the smoke. It was really cool to see the smoke as they went through the course. We did have a little rain while we were there, but that didn't stop us from having a good time.

There was a helicopter that flew upside down and did flips. We even saw some sky divers. They got out of the airplane and stood on top of the plane and on the wings. Then they jumped off the plane instead of out of the plane. This picture is so beautiful with the bright blue sky and white puffy clouds. A painting only God Himself could create. If you look closely you can see the strings of smoke coming from the sky divers.

I would defiantly go see this again.

God kept all the pilots and fans safe. It was a beautiful day spent with family and a new friend. Thank you Jesus for the time we get to fellowship with others.

Oh and after the race, we went to my most favorite place to eat "FINS". The best mexican eatery!

(would of added more pictures but my dial up is taking a long long time)
