Red Bull Flugtag makes stop in St. Paul
Red Bull's Flugtag returned to St. Paul this weekend with plenty of teams turning out for the contest.
Competitors were judged on a number of factors including distance flown, creativity, and showmanship. At the end of the contest, Minneapolis' Spooner’s Revenge took home the first spot.
In a release, pilot Carl Romstad said this was his second time competing after first flying when the Flugtag was in St. Paul in 2010.
"We’ve waited nine years to do this again," he said.
Spooner's Revenge finished second in 2010.
