Flugtag

Here are the much sought-after pictures from Flugtag Nashville.


The setup. Teams built floats/planes and pushed them off a barge in the Cumberland to see how far they'd fly.

more skydiving/smoke-writing
unsuccessful flyers

a crash
The winning team: their flying machine is a Kentucky mountain on top of a banjo. The pieces separated and the "mountain" acted as a hang glider and flew 110 feet. The distance set the North American distance record!!!

cool float, poor design
