Team 99 made its way back home from the Abu Dhabi Red Bull Air Race this week. It was an exciting finish in our 1st Red Bull Air Race of 2016.

It’s the end of a long race week in Abu Dhabi. The team is pleased with the outcome. We qualified 3rd [on Friday] and finished 6th in the race today [Saturday]. We came up against Hannes Arch in the Round of 8 and he flew the best time that he flew all week. We laid down a great time, 59.449 seconds – but he was 0.72 seconds faster than us. We have a great team and a great plane. We are super pumped, full of energy, and we are in the championship hunt. Thanks to everyone back home, fans, friends, sponsors and family.
