Today, twenty-nine teams from across the northeast attempted flight from a 24-foot high platform before landing with a splash in the Potomac River at National Red Bull Flugtag DC. As part of a national day celebrating flight, waterfront destination National Harbor hosted the first of five simultaneous events with others taking place in Miami, Chicago, Dallas and Long Beach, Calif. The rain didn’t deter 10,000 ticketed spectators from cheering on rural Pennsylvanian farming team, Harvest Bureau, as they took home first prize but nationally, history was made in Long Beach where the new Red Bull Flugtag world record was set with a flight of 258 feet—shattering the previous 2012 German record of 229 feet.
Duck Hunt, in action!
