Saturday August 12 was an epic day in Ohio (known as the “birthplace of aviation”) as Red Bull Flugtag Cincinnati took over the Ohio River for a day of fun, frivolity, and engineering failures. Cincinnati was the only city in the United States to host Flugtag this year and it seemed appropriately ironic given the nearby location of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park where “Arguably, the human imagination found its highest expression in two men from Dayton, Ohio: Wilbur and Orville Wright, first to fly a powered, heavier-than-air machine and creators of the practical airplane.”

We’ll let the WCPO report serve as a stand-in for our play-by-play prose. Cleveland even had skin in the game as a team from Cleveland State took flight. Our friends from Livings Lands & Waters enjoyed a short time in the “longest flight hot seat. And yes, we can’t WAIT TO get Red Bull Flugtag BACK to Cleveland!
