'Flying madness' makes a return

Do you consider yourself bold with an imaginative mind? Then the Red Bull Flugtag might just be the thing for you.
-
The event returns to the V&A Waterfront on Sunday 2 November following a 13-year hiatus.
Flight crews made up of up to four teammates will launch their handcrafted flying machines off a more than 7,62 m flight deck in the hopes of soaring and gliding into the harbour.
Entries will close on Thursday 31 July. The final team lineup will be revealed next month (August).
The event will take place in South Africa for the third time.
In 2012 over 200 000 spectators packed the Waterfront to witness “pure flying madness”.
