PrivateFly brings the Red Bull Air Race to BGAD

At PrivateFly we like to do things a bit differently. And that includes trade events.

On Tuesday 15th September we’ll be taking part in the The UK Business & General Aviation Day (BGAD), the annual gathering of the UK business aviation industry – this year being held at London Biggin Hill Airport. And rather than opting for a traditional exhibition stand, we decided to bring a bit of fun and interactivity.

So we’ve teamed up with Red Bull and virtual reality specialists RewindFX, to offer all visitors an exhilarating and exclusive aviation encounter.

Our stand visitors will be able to experience the latest in virtual reality technology, flying with Red Bull Air Race world champion 2015, Paul Bonhomme. And in a unique opportunity (not usually available to the public), take the controls themselves, to race against industry colleagues.

Register here to attend BGAD.

Who will be crowned champion at the top of the PrivateFly leaderboard? Professional aviation reputations will be stake here, and competition promises to be fierce.

Here’s a short video to give you a taster of the thrills and spills.

If you’re coming to BGAD, look out for PrivateFly & Red Bull Air Race near the internal static display. And don’t forget to share your photos and experience with us on Twitter or Facebook, using #PFAirRace.
