The Red Bull event begins today, at 11:00 AM and ends at 4:00 PM.
The word “Flugtag” means “Flying Day” in German, and it involves teams of competitors trying to fly the longest and furthest. What they do is jump off a 30 foot high pier over the water. In this case it is over the Delaware River. The event usually involves a lot of entertainment and very little actual flying. They draw huge crowds, and there should be a ton of onlookers out in Philadelphia to watch the event today.
If you are interested in going, the Flugtag will begin on Pier 1 at the Camden Waterfront. It is the first time the event has been in Philadelphia.
