Canadian Pete McLeod set to race in Red Bull 2009!

Post by Blue Side Down »

Check out RBAR's youtube post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPFWZ0wuLHU

Pete's been running strong for the past few years, and this is the fruition of his dream- lets give him all the support we can and hope the RB crew agrees that a young pilot on the circuit will be a strong asset.

It looks like Red Bull monitors the comments on the videos, so that's the place to start!

That would be pretty sweet if he did....We have been out of touch, but I went to flight school with Pete. We only bombed around together in 172's but even then I could tell he had skills.

That's impressive. For curiousity, how do you get into that elite type of aerobatic flying at 24 years old? I'm sure an EA300 isn't the cheapest plane around and you have to be pretty good before anyone will sponsor you.

That's the guy? He was a class act and a great pleasure to watch overhead YRL. That's pretty exciting stuff, I'll be watching for him!

I remember last summer,
It was a quiet summer evening, Pete was backtracking for 26 while I was waiting on taxiway braveo, soon as he was airborn he flipped on the smoke and kept'er low level the whole length of the runway.
It was FRIGGIN AMAZING!!!
GO PETE GO
Good Luck man!
