Red Bull a Modena

Oggi all’aeroporto di Modena Marzaglia, Dario Costa con il suo Zivko Edge 540 si è esibito in una bellissima performance acrobatica sul cielo campo.

Dopo aver lavorato quasi un mese siamo riusciti ad ottenere il notam che ha permesso a Dario di lavorare in piena libertà nello spazio aereo sopra il nostro campo.

Domani, domenica 26 maggio, meteo permettendo, ci sarà la seconda performance di Dario.
