The FAI has released a new video featuring all air sports
activities under the umbrella of the Federation. The 3-minute film succinctly
presents the FAI sports and includes footage of FAI international records from
Charles Lindbergh to Felix Baumgartner. The video sequences have been selected
from various sources to highlight the beauty and diversity of Aeromodelling,
Aerobatics, Ballooning, Experimental Aircraft, General Aviation, Gliding, Hang
Gliding and Paragliding, Microlights and Paramotors, Parachuting and Rotorcraft.

“With this new video we aim to pass the bug for air sports to as many people as
possible; all our sports have the great advantage of being exciting not only to
practice, but also to watch,” said Secretary General Susanne Schödel. “We also
want to emphasise that the FAI is part of the epic history of aviation and air
sports, having ratified over the years more than 17,000 records including those
of Lindbergh, Gagarin, Armstrong, Piccard, Fossett and Baumgartner, to name but
a few.”
