Update here — www.avweb.com The first crash in the Red Bull Air Race’s seven year history was suffered Thursday April 15, 2010 in Perth Australia when Adilson Kindlemann, 36, lost control of his aircraft after rounding a pylon during practice. Kindlemann managed a near wings level impact, but as the aircraft’s fixed landing gear dug into the water, the aircraft flipped, leaving Kindlemann and the aircraft floating upside down in Perth’s Swan River. As you can see, Red Bull rescue crews arrived quickly to the inverted MXS-R aerobatic race plane. They soon extracted Kindlemann from the river and local police said he appeared to be conscious with minor injuries. Kindlemann was transported to a local hospital where, according to Red bull Air Race chief Executive Bernd Loidl, he was in good condition. Weather conditions at the time of the accident were less than ideal, with gusty winds. Kindlemann, is a former airline pilot with 11000 flight hours. He was Brazil’s national aerobatic champion between 2001 and 2004, but is nonetheless a rookie in the air race series.

  7. TimeLapseSteve says:

    High speed stall, nothing more. He simply yanked the yoke a bit too hard during that final turn and lost control, resulting in the belly flop into the water. You can see the pre-stall buffet on the wings in videos that show the onboard cam.

    did he have to plug red bull repeatedly? *paraphrasing* The red bull pilot crashed into the red bull river in red bull, Aus. The red bull response team got to him and the
    energy drink rescue team gave him wings on his way to the sugar free red bull medical center where he was administered red bull cola.

    when a plane is on its side it has no aerodynamic lift. He made a mistake by steering just a little to far: 0:18.

    ha! he thought he was in ‘sky captain and the world of tommorow’

    @woodycoat Good idea — and one they already apply. The link in info (below the vid) has more about how Kindlemann survived.

  24. flipsidedogchop says:

    publicity stunt!

  25. DickSkidmore says:

    Looks like he jerked it past 90 degrees on that turn. Bad move when your that close to the ground.
