BATTLE OF THE LOOPERS AT TANNKOSH
21 Aug 2013
Save to de.icio.us
Who can perform the most loops in three minutes? That's the challenge being set at Tannkosh, Europe's biggest summer fly-in, held at Tannheim, Germany this coming weekend.
The battle will be between The Flying Bulls Helicopter Bo 105, flown by Rainer Wilke, one of the few helicopter aerobatics instructors in the world, and an aerobatic Edge 540, flown by airrace and aerobatics pilot Matthias Dolderer.
Each pilot will start the first loop from horizontal flight and then keep going. The final loop should finish at three minutes in the same position.
The Bo 105 and the Edge 540 will be flying separately in the display box overhead Tannheim airfield.
"The two pilots are very good friends and colleagues," say the organisers. "The idea came during their time spent together at airshows around the world with the Flying Bulls."
The battle starts on Saturday, 24 August, at around 16:00 local time.
