Red Bull Flugtag makes its first appearance in Boston this weekend.
What is the Red Bull Flugtag? It is a creative challenge to design, build and pilot home-made flying machines off a 28-foot high flight deck that will be erected along the DCR Hatch Shell on the Esplanade in Boston’s Back Bay. Teams are judged on three criteria: flight distance, creativity of the craft, and showmanship. All will be challenged to beat the current record of 258 feet.
For more details about the event visit the official website, redbullflugtag.com/usa-Boston

Do you have a photo you would like to share for a future post? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
