The Red Bull Air Races and the opening of the new Children's Museum made for a crazy weekend downtown San Diego. While I wasn't able to attend the races, I did have the opportunity to attend the San Diego International Sports Council's VIP pit walk. Kim Sawyer (and team) did a great job organizing a fantastic event which included a bus ride to NAS North Island and an exclusive opportunity to hang out in the pits and speak with the pilots, all of whom were really cool. It was amazing to see the operation that Red Bull has in place. All of the pits were immaculate and the flight line air traffic control center (all of which they transport from city to city) were amazing. See my videos below.
