However, those humans who have been there - not only shaking a joystick - know that fighting the Spirit of Gravity is the best way to pilot their life and reach the ultimate goal, Sharing and Unity in Liberty.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year 2010

08.10 CONGRATULATION TO PAUL BONHOMME
We are very pleased to congratulate Paul Bonhomme who just won the 2009 Red Bull Air Race World Champion title.
The 2009 Classical World Aerobatic Championships have been accomplished at Silverstone (UK), although a limited number of programmes were flown (there is a reason why England is so green!).
Silverstone race track, UK, the 25th World Aerobatic Championships officially includes a "Freestyle Championship", a copy of the FAI World Grand Prix format (easy to copy, difficult to equal, as people say!).
We are very sad to announce the fatal accident of Svetlana Fedorenko during a training flight as an instructor on a YAK 52. The accident happened last weekend at Drakino airfield, in the Moscow area.
During the latest Haute Voltige Aerobatics Japan Grand Prix, Nikon arranged for sports photo journalist Mr. Bill Frakes (Sports Illustrated USA), to take photos of the event at Twin Ring Motegi with his Nikon digital SLR camera.
These photos and his interview can be viewed on the Nikon Power Professionals website.
So, what change in civilisation?
Just imagine that all your beliefs were wrong, consequences of a huge fraud, and that we reach the revelation of April Fool's Day...
Aerobatics can help understand there is nothing like a return to departure, a cycle. The end of a loop is always further away than the beginning, but the positive figure is as important as the negative one.
As everyone can now testify from the economical, environmental and spiritual crisis, the time has come for a change of civilisation.
But how?
A renewal through the aerobatic Conjunction of the Opposites ...
Haute Voltige is a big split between a philosophical idea and its spectacular demonstration, it is our engine and our fuel, our driving force, physical, but also beyond physics, meta-physical. At this point, we do not have the necessary financial resources to physically organise aerobatic events, therefore we will limit our activity to the production of video pictures for promoting the art of all those pilots who accompanied us on this fabulous racetrack at Motegi, and to a reflection which is vital in this world in metamorphosis.
It is the least you can expect when you act as a pilot and you put a meaning behind this word.
