LIFT items are selected either by myself or by one of my guest editors. If you have a cool tip, please share it with me! And, no, you can't pay to be featured on LIFT. That's what advertising is for, and it's clearly labeled as such. I do not want to destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of this blog. Plus, I'll never earn your trust that way.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

I hope that you continue to enjoy LIFT. I look forward to publishing it.

Sky High: Air sports fanatics, tighten your seat belts!

CommentPost a Comment |
The biggest air sports extravaganza in the world takes place in the skies over Wanaka, New Zealand on Dec 27-28.

Air Sports Live, incorporating the New Zealand Air Games, features ten sports ranging from paragliding to sky diving, helicopters to hot air ballooning, all set against the alpine backdrop of drop-dead gorgeous New Zealand.

The best part: Many of the sports have been reformatted for high adrenalin viewing. There are sky divers racing head-to-head at terminal velocity around free-falling pylons. Top pilots opening up a whole new perception of helicopters as they perform phenomenal stunts and precision flying in direct competition with each other; powered aircraft performing dramatic aerobatics featuring massive G-forces and millimeter precision.

And, if that's not enough: All the aerial action will be beamed back live to spectators on the airfield on a giant screen from cameras mounted in cockpits as well as the latest air-to-air filming technology and real-time graphics, giving a fascinating insight into the previously closed world of the world-class sports pilots.
