15 APR : THE SUPER EIGHT, 6 MEN, 2 WOMEN, 6 NATIONS
Here is
the list of pilots selected to compete in the "2008 Haute Voltige Aerobatics Japan Grand Prix" to be held at Twin Ring Motegi, Japan from 31 October
to 02 November. (Subject to change in
case of "force majeure")
A bureaucrat in Japan has found a law which prohibits a formation
team leader to speak to his pilots through air-to-air radio
whilst flying.
It is so ridiculous, we could publish this news only on April
Fools Day, although it is unfortunately true.
20 MAR : HAUTE VOLTIGE JAPAN AEROBATICS GRAND PRIX
Confirmed event dates - 31 October to
02 November 2008.
21 FEB : ALMADRAVA TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM
Almadrava (Patricia & Pedro Toro),
composers of Haute Voltige Air Musicals, "Dreamings" and "Metal Angels" will soon release their new album "Positivity".
The album mixes the influences of pop, with the chillout
style of Almadrava's past two albums.
The first single will be “Where life and the sea...” This track is a duet,
where in addition to mixing sounds, they mix languages
and voices. The video clip can be viewed on YouTube.
29.01, this is a prophecy for Aerobatic
pilots if they don't change their sport : the end of
times between an I and an O, a line and a loop .
The dream of a clever sport for clever pilots.
Thanks to HH Sultan and Professor Juma for 29.01.2005 !

07 JAN : SPORT IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT ...
Sport is beautiful, but it is not enough.
During the past 14 years Haute Voltige has pioneered
a system to create public awareness of aerobatic
competitions. We are quite proud of what has been achieved
as pilots can now secure sponsorship, the World Air Sports
Federation (FAI) has raised new sources of income, and new
competitions are popping up like mushrooms.
It is now time for us to evolve
and fly Haute Voltige to a higher level. Still with
the top sportsmen and the competitive input of the FAI
World Grand Prix, but honestly, who cares of the best
aerobatic pilot in the world if he can only display the
same stunts over and over again? We need solo pilots and
formation teams with the talent to express their soul,
not only their bravado, and to be different each time, not exactly the same, not exactly another one.
