Over 70,000 spectators lined the Inner Harbor on October 21, 2006 at Red Bull Flugtag Baltimore to witness Victims of Soi-Cum-Stance set a new U.S. record by soaring 81 feet!!! This Pennsylvania team of Flugtag veterans wowed the judges with their portrayal of The Three Stooges at Baltimore's first ever human-powered flying competition.
"Where else can you be in your 40's and 50's and do this kind of stuff? We're adolescent boys trapped in middle-aged bodies," said the team's pilot, Dave Sadowsky.
Larry, Curly and Mo weren't the only ones on the award podium. Atlanta's Jump the Shark took second place, edging out third place finishers F-10-75, a team of New York's finest firefighters. While both teams flew 75 feet, showmanship was the deciding factor between the two.
Out of 23 teams and 17,000 text message votes, the half train, half plane 4-4-0 American Flyer proved to be the hometown favorite, winning People's Choice Award with 33% of the total votes! The team's captain, Tom Symonds, explained: "We built our craft with extra love!"
