For all you airplane fans out there: The Red Bull Air Race series came to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in early October, 2016. It was great fun watching the planes fly around the infield, frequently at the same level as spectators in the top of the grandstands. This shot shows eventual race winner (and 2016 series champion) Matthias Dolderer making a slight mistake going through the finish pylons during one of his qualifying runs. The amazing thing was how quickly the ground crew could repair the pylons between runs. It usually took only two to three minutes to replace the damaged section and reinflate the pylon.

I'm assuming they are maybe held together by Velcro or some other type of loose fastener for that particular reason? I used to play the Red Bull Air Racing game on my iPad and this is definitely neat to watch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
It's better in person. The pylons are in 9-foot sections. I'm not sure how they're fastened together, but they just have to replace the damaged section and turn on the fan to re-inflate it.
Got in some high school football over the weekend. All games played in the Carrier Dome on the Syracuse University campus as the NYS Section III crowned their 2016 champions. This was the catch of the weekend for both the team and for me. Championship Catch by Scott Thomas
Petr Kopfstein has an absolutely crazy paint scheme on his airplane. It helps make it stand out against the Indianapolis Motor Speedway pagoda during qualifying for the 2016 Red Bull Air Race event in Indy. Petr and the Pagoda
