When we arrive in the shed, we see somebody, concentrated, making movements with the arms and walking between two small bottles... It is Didier, a student of Nicolas Ivanoff, during this training course of acrobatics to Saint-Yan. These bottles... represent the judges because the acrobatics, it is to learn flying in a box and to make its "acrobatics" in a way that they are the most beautiful, best made the a success for the eye of the judge. The judge today, it is Nicolas, so called " The Quick Corsican ", installed in his car, far off on the other side of the ground, which analyzes and speaks to the pilot while this one flies... over a nest of cuckoos. Nicolas recorded in 2014: 6 800 hours of flight and 5 700 hours of aerobatic flight. He won several events of the Red Bull Air Race. He counts among others a title of vice-champion of France (2004) and that of the world champion by team (2000).
While waiting for the next stage of the World championship Red Bull of air race (Red Bull Air Race World Championship), who will take place for the first time in Japan, Nicolas Ivanoff, train, for a few days, pilots who will go to the next competitions of acrobatics.
In this restricted environment, everybody knows. The acrobatics seems to have been an obvious fact for them but it was necessary to work hard to find the financing for the purchase of their planes : the acrobatics is not a profession but a passion!
