 Air Race Pilot Matt Hall in his Red Bull Aircraft Display
Matt Hall made his debut in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship in 2009, becoming the first Australian to compete in the famed event.
In 2010 Hall continued to show he has the potential to be a future world champion by finishing second in front of a “home” crowd in Perth, fourth in Rio and third in Lausitz. Despite missing two races after his splash into the Detroit River in Windsor, Hall still managed to finish 7th overall.
