From "Top Gun" to top runs - The Matt Hall Story

» Subscribe to Red Bull Air Race: win.gs/SubToAir...
Matt Hall has gone from fighter pilot to top competitor in his flying career. Here is his fascinating story...
--
About: The Red Bull Air Race World Championship features the world's best pilots in a motorsports competition based on speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, Red Bull Air Race pilots navigate a low-level aerial race track made up of air filled pylons, flying at speeds reaching 230mph while withstanding forces of up to 10g. The objective is to complete the course, navigating the 65 feet high specially designed inflatable pylons known as Air Gates in the fastest possible time. Red Bull Air Race pilots must pass between the Air Gates in the correct position taking care not to touch them with their wings. The pilots compete for points at each Red Bull Air Race and the one who accumulates the most at the end of the season is crowned Red Bull Air Race World Champion.

Absolutely gutted that red bull air race is no longer going to be a thing... This race is the pinnacle of motorsport. Its a sad day indeed

[@mrpicky1868]

its a miracle it didnt end in disaster yet so have your good memories

[@larkinflight]

@@mrpicky1868 What disaster? there were no major accidents in this sport ever!

[@larkinflight]

it is, sadly we will not see it anymore :(

[@hanklevi1405]

Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last few weeks :)

[@finneganricardo712]

@Hank Levi Definitely, I've been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

The feeling that Red Bull Air Race is finally coming to an end, hasn't really sunk in. I really wish something could be done to save this INCREDIBLE sport. I was so excited when it was announced that Saudi Arabia is where the season finale is going to take place. All my excitement was dashed in one paragraph. I hope one day Red Bull Air Race will return and return in style. Wishing Matt Hall and all the other 13 Pilots all the best for the remainder of the season. Can't wait for #Kazan #AirRace...keep pushing folks! \m/ \m/

What a legend & all round inspiration. That world championship is coming Mat this could be your year. Best of luck.

[@ibemakka]

After watching this again It makes me so happy that Matt got the last Red Bull world championship.

[@henrythornalley2559]

What an inspirational guy, if this guy could talk to every class of kids in the world, we'd have a world of inspired youth!

[@benwarner3498]

A very envious life to be sure Matt! Good luck seeking that championship !

[@notanothercreativetechnologist]

I went to an open day at Williamstown RAAF where Matt trained, when I was about 14... and I was like 'YEP THIS IS WHAT I AM DOING NOW' ... I'm deaf, and I wear glasses, so I wasn't allowed. :) No regrets though, what I do now is brilliant. Watching people like Matt do what I wanted to do is amazingly inspirational. I grew up 2 minutes away.

[@excal22]

Matt flies around my local lake every weekend!

Ein interessanter Einblick von Matt Hall. Ich bin gespannt wie es für ihn und die anderen Air Race Piloten nach dem Ende der Red Bull Air Race World Championship weiter geht. Ich bin immer noch sehr traurig nach dieser Nachricht. Alles Gute für Matt, seine Piloten Kollegen und allen anderen die, die vielen schönen Air Race Rennen über die vielen Jahre ermöglicht haben für die Zukunft!

[@RK1FX]

Man's got a good taste in cars, rocking that c63 AMG m157

[@peterfinlay5168]

A superb story of inspiration to follow your dreams and make things happen.

[@you8364]

Very down to earth bloke... I wish I was born your mate so you could of motivated me to become a pilot...

[@SCCIT-jq6jh]

Australia should host a X country aerobatic event.

[@athermahmood1065]

Awesome bro. Good luck 👍🏼

[@damndaniel1083]

Beautiful video

[@rodneyanderson3072]

Hi Matt, great video and career 👍. I've noticed on your MXR the aileron is 3/4 the length of the wing, the MX2 aileron goes the full length. Is the MXR aileron like that for more speed through areo dynamics? Truly an amazing aircraft , would love to build one!!

[@austinblanch1715]

Shame that music is so loud we struggle to hear what Matt is saying.

[@liza8578]

Have a very best of luck to you, soon @

[@maxellison3332]

As someone who dreams of being a fighter pilot one day this video is so inspirational

[@themiddleman9376]

Please create your own air race. I would be gutted if air races aren't a thing after red bull stopped them.

[@j-c4997]

He flew P-51s!!!???? And f-18!!!???

[@999Rabs]

Julian C. FL 380 and F-15s whilst deployed to the USAF during Iraqi War. He’s the real deal!

[@etiennedud]

Good video, i don't know if this is just me but the music is awfull, completely cut

[@jeroenvanvlijmen745]

Same for me, glad it's not my phone

[@djpsypher916]

This guy is so used to the G's that they have no effect on him.

[@excal22]

Yeah, my dad went to school with him, I'm basically famous

[@jmp.t28b99]

So is he a f-18 HORNET pilot or not ?

[@blumie006]

Was for 18 years
