Watch test pilots redefine air travel when they launch their homemade, human-powered flying machines off a 30-foot ramp into the chilly McCovey Cove waters in “hopes” of achieving flight at the 2012 Red Bull Flugtag on November 10, 2012.
This is the 10th anniversary of the very first Flugtag which took place in San Francisco in 2002.

Flugtag may mean “flying day” in German, but all these crafts ultimately splash into the waters below. They are judged not only on their flight’s distance, but creativity and showmanship as well.
