Gdynia Aerobaltic 2017, day 2. 2017.08.12

First edition of the night show in Gdynia. My first night show as well (second to be exact because the first one was the day before). With the experience of the first day I now knew what to expect and could focus a little more on particular things. But lets not talk too much about it all.

Gdynia Aerobaltic 2017, day 1. 2017.08.11

First edition of the night show in Gdynia. My first night show as well. I've been totally stunned! Absolutely phenomenal sights! A special area has been set out on the beach for the general public, free admittance, apart what was happening in the sky there were laser shows and performances. There has also been an area for accredited spotters and media with the possibility to rent camera bodies and lenses. First, still with the sun up, some usual performances, later, when the sun was gone for the night the magic staretd to happen. Main stars, for me definitely Aerosparx, Fireflies and the swedish Piper Cub. It isn't easy for words to describe everything, not even the photos will give a full insight. Surely a test for the photographer as well. The 2018 edition is noted in my calendar, will try to come for at least one day.
May the photos from the first day speak for themselves:

Red Bull Air Race 2014 - Gdynia! pt.1

The story of me and the Red Bull Air Race goes back a couple of years. I had tickets to the race in Budapest in 2010, but unfortunately the series came to an premature end and the race was canceled. Seeing the pilots race above the Danube river with a great panorama of the city in the background, I believe would be something amazing! For the next years the championship didn't take place. Until now. In 2014 Red Bull announced that the series would be restarted. Whats more, one of the stops was planned in Poland, at the seaside, in Gdynia. Wonderful! Not only the championships are back but I don't need to go far to see it!

The pilots had their first official training on Friday evening. The next day after a training, it was time for the Challenger Cup, and Masters qualifications. Between all, different displays from Breitling. Sunday (photos here) begun with a flyby of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner followed by the Breitiling Jet Team. After that the Masters begun racing with the Top 12, Super 8 and Final 4. All the details can be found here.

I've also decided to group the photos by day, in this post you'll see photos from the first racing day (26/07/2014), in a different post you'll be able to see the second day (27/07/2014).
