Red Bull is having their 10th anniversary Red Bull Flugtag in the United States and this year it is held in San Francisco where flugtag first began in the United States back in 2002. However, the Red Bull Flugtag actually started in 1992, in Vienna Austria, but San Francisco is the first location that the event took place in, within the U.S.

What is Flugtag?

Flugtag means "flying day" in German, but all the human crafted flying machines will end up falling off the 30-foot high deck and splash into the water.

What is this event?

• This year, 36 teams are competing in the Red Bull Flugtag by building their very own flying machines that is going to be pushed off a tall deck in hope of actually flying along the waters of McCovey Cove.
• Each team designs their own design for the flying machine, for example, some were ducks, pigs, hamburger, multicolored, and etc.
• One person is in the flying machine trying to fly it while the other teammates pushes the machine off the deck.
• Whichever 3 machine the judges think is best flight distance, creativity, and showmanship wins either 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize.

Still having trouble imagining how it's going to be like? Check out the Video below!

Transportation

• At events where there's going to be a lot of people, I always recommended taking the bus because parking will be really hard to find, unless you want to pay to park in a parking garage.
• To get to McCovey Cove you can take the underground MUNI of either the N line or the K which turns into the T after the underground tunnel.
