The team managed to fly an astonishing 78.5 meters (that’s the length of 261.6 chickens in an orderly line) in 2013. They beat the previous record by 9 meters, and so officially flew to the top of the pecking order.
We’ve finally discovered the vital truth about being a chicken, not afraid or weak, but defiant and brave.
Red Bull Flugtag Canada is ready for its return to Toronto on September 23rd; we just need you to sign-up, soar and break the record. Or are you not chicken enough?
