    Red Bull plane takes a dip

    One of the entrants in this weekends Red Bull air race wont be competing.
    Dipped a wing in the Swan river whilst practicing.
    Was turning around a marker bouy at the time.
    Would have been spectacular to watch!!!!
    Pilot was recovered OK.

    Yeh, but he seemed to have plenty of the second until he hit the water. Maybe they need to put the gates on little gyrocopters about 1000ft up in the air.
