Red Bull Flugtag, which means "flying day" in German

More than 90,000 people witnessed team Major Trouble and the Dirty Dixies soar into victory and the record books when they flew 207 feet at Red Bull Flugtag Twin Cities today. This historic flight smashed the previous Red Bull Flugtag world record of 195 feet, which had held strong for more than 10 years.

"Minnesota is known for setting records so we just added another one to the already long list," stated Major Trouble and the Dirty Dixies' Jason Franke. "It took a lot of effort and hard work to get the job done, but we had a lot of fun. This was a solid event and the experience was even better than we expected." For achieving this feat, the team will receive an excursion aboard an exclusive amphibious planeā€¦the Red Bull Albatross.
