Aerobatic flying in extra with petr kopfstein
Petr Kopfstein (born March 18, 1978) is a Czech aeroabtic pilot, representing the Czech Republic in flying aerobatics in an Unlimited category, and most recently a racer in the Master Class category of the Red Bull Air Race. He is historically the very first winner of the Red Bull Air Race Challenger Cup. After his victory of the whole Challenger Cup in 2014, there were rumors about him moving to Masters. However, it became a reality for the 2016 season. This was partly also supported by Peter Besenyei and Paul Bonhomme's departure from the series.
