Flying High with the Red Bull Air Race
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THE RED BULL AIR RACE IS COMING TO OUR AREA THIS WEEKEND~
SOME OF THE WORLDS BEST PILOTS WILL BE RACING OVER THE HUDSON RIVER BETWEEN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY LIBERTY STATE PARK!
I had the opportunity to take a test flight..take a look :)
The Red Bull Air Race World Championship takes 15 of the world’s best pilots and puts them in a competition of speed, precision and skill. One at a time the pilots fly lightweight, high performancerace planes through a series of inflatable "air gates" in a race for the best time
through the track. Pilots reach speeds up to 230 mph pulling 12 Gs and fly just 10-20 feet
above the water.
The season runs from March . September (8-10 races/year), and each race is broadcast live
and/or tape delayed in over 87 countries in six continents, reaching more than 300 million viewers in 2009.
The Red Bull Air Race is not an .air show.. It is a global motorsport competition challenging the
worlds best pilots in precision racing skills.

Jaron And The Long Road to Love
This morning I had the opportunity to interview one of the hottest new country artists! He's definitely not new to the business. Many know him from his Evan & Jaron days when he and his twin brother performed as a duo. One of my favorite hit songs they sang was "Crazy For This Girl."
Jaron decided to move from LA to Nashville to pursue his music career. His sound and style I don't think can be classified into one particular genre...but since he is now in Nashville, I say this boy has "Gone Country!" And I am so glad he did!
Jaron And The Long Road To Love just released their debut album "Getting Dressed in the Dark" Now what does that title mean? I didn't have time to ask, but I could think of a few different scenarios :) His album debuted at Number 1 on the iTunes Country Charts and his hit single "Pray for You" which he co-wrote with Joel Brentlinger, is officially gold! Why the name ? Well it seems some of us have been burnt and well this is the perfect song for sweet revenge...
Jaron's debut Country single, "Pray For You," recently spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. "Pray For You," is a Top 20 hit and rising on Country Radio.Jaron And The Long Road To Love is currently a Top 10 Country Artist on the Myspace Music Charts. Jaron And The Long Road To Love's videos receive 60,000 UNIQUE views on You Tube each day. In the last 6 months, Jaron And The Long Road To Love has earned a combined total of 3.9 million You Tube views. "Pray For You" has become a smash hit, currently selling 43k units a week on iTunes and peaking at #2 on the Country iTunes Chart and Top 25 on the All Genre iTunes Chart. "Pray For You" is currently in its 23rd consecutive week of sales increases on ITunes and is nearing GOLD single status. "Pray For You" (the prequel) is currently the third highest-streamed music video on CMT.com.
