      Red Bull could not have picked a better partner for this project! I saw the landing (as a big fan of Red Bull.) and then I saw MP's video come up on my feed and of course the only thought I had was "of course Mike Patey was involved... EPIC!"

    I saw the Red Bull video first, caught a glimpse of Mike in it, and immediately came here to see if there was a video. It's not even surprising to me that Mike would be involved with this stunt, there's probably no better engineer/builder in the world for the task.

    so cool that his sons helped with the aircraft. Its so important to have a father and son (or sons) relationship. My Dad is a pilot, and My little brother is a Naval air traffic controller. I on the other hand have severe hearing loss and couldn't join the U.S. Military, but instead started flight school. Aviation is what we all relate to, and I couldn't be happier. All we do in life is make memories, and its important to make memories with both of your parents. His relationship with his kids is similar to the relationship that I have with my father, and I'm thankful every day to have my dad's support.... Hell, I sure as hell hope dad is thankful for my support.

    Guys, it was awesome! When you look at one of Red Bull's crazy (it is Red Bull in the end) events, you admire a pilot, a skydiver, or any of those guys. But somehow lost that behind each of those events so much hard work. Handwork, mind work, social work. Guys of Red Bulls are often said to be insane, and I`m sure Mike with his approach to aircraft building (and sleep disorder :)) - is one of the coolest, craziest, and genuinely honorable members.
