Uprkos obustavljanju originalnog Red Bull Air Race-a zbog lošeg poslovanja i priča o nezadovoljavajućoj bezbednosti na pojedinim lokacijama kao i neuspelim planovima da se pomenuti event organizuje i u Beogradu, balkanski aeroklubovi i organizacije nisu napustile koncept priredbi koje za temu imaju letenje akrobatskih aviona između pilona na naduvavanje.
Posle pionirskih koraka koje smo imali prilike da vidimo u Novom Sadu pre koju godinu na prvom dvodnevnom GA događaju u Srbiji, i trci iznad zadarskog zaliva pre mesec dana, imaćemo priliku da vidimo nešto slično i u Makedoniji. Na ovom Air Race – fly-in – airshow hibridu leteće isti učesnici kao u Zadru uz učešće makedonske državne, vojne i privatne avijacije.
Najava sa njihovog Facebook eventa:
When a small entity as the local Aero Club „Mirko Todorovski“ from Bitola dares to organize an event of the class of the Red Bull Air Race, then only two thoughts come into your head, someone really overestimated himself, or indeed something big will happen in Bitola.
In a period when the largest organizer of such events, Red Bull with its spectacular event Red Bull Air Race, announces one-year break due to financial problems, then skepticism for the quality of this event in Bitola is completely justified, but when you put the list names of flying aces who will attend in this „flying race“ and the names of their flying machines, everything will be clear.
But, First thing first
The Air show is predicted to last 3 days on 9, 10 and 11 of September 2011.
The first day Friday 09.09.2011will be unofficial. The aviation modeling sections from Macedonia and neighboring countries will present their show and activities and will make a presentation of their sub sections as aviation modeling, radio commanded modeling, free flight modeling, rocket modeling section.
Certainly the most of the day will be devoted to ultra light aircraft and visitors will become familiar with the properties of the ultra light aircraft, their “invading” of the sky and their advantages over the general aviation airplanes.
Certainly our guests also will be many hang gliders, parachutists and free flyer. Everyone present from our team at the air show will try to contribute to inform the public on its activities.
