The roar of the aircraft at low altitude (sorry, but obviously have passed too fast to catch them in a better photo ...) was preceded by a performance of some red bull crazy paratroopers with "engines" in the shoes instead of going down in the air as soft as normal paratroopers, dropped as rockets landed on track, on the other hand must demonstrate that Red Bull Gives You wingsss.
