Two exceptional pilots, participants in the Red Bull Air Race, have completed a stunt that you definitely would not want to try at home. Paul Bonhomme and Steve Jones, both from Great Britain, flew their Xtreme Air XA41 race planes through a hangar in North Wales.

“There is nothing that quite compares to that feeling when you are 200 yards from the hangar and you’ve got no options, you’re completely hemmed in and you just need to check you’re in line with the gap in the building and press on through it,” said Jones.
