Red Bull Flugtag is taking over Portland's Tom McCall Waterfront Park on   
   August 1st starting at 11am!   
      
   Flugtag challenges the brave and brainy to design, build and pilot   
   home-made flying machines off a 28-foot-high flight deck in hopes of   
   soaring into the wild blue yonder.. or more often, plunging into the waters   
   below. Flugtag, which means "flying day" in German, pushes the envelope   
   of human-powered flight, but competitors need more than airtime to reach   
   the podium. Teams are judged on three criteria: flight distance, creativity   
   of the craft, and showmanship. This criteria has inspired flying tacos,   
   prehistoric pterodactyls, winnebagos with wings and even Snoopy and the   
   gang to grace the Flugtag flight decks! Since the first Red Bull Flugtag   
   took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1992, more than 100 Red Bull Flugtags   
   have been held around the globe, attracting up to 300,000 spectators for   
   a single event.
