Sadly more bad news from the Red Bull Air Race……

A top bloke apparently. RIP.

August 8, 2010 – Red Bull Air Race Technical Director Adrian Judd, a driving force behind the sport for the last five years, has died at the age of 44 from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident in Germany. A man widely respected and deeply admired by pilots and crew alike and known for his commitment to the sport, Judd is survived by his wife Sharon and three daughters.

A down to earth man with a vibrant sense of humor from Buckinghamshire in Britain, Judd was the final authority on whether an aircraft complied to Red Bull Air Race rules and regulations.

He was the epitome of fairness and worked tirelessly, and without compromise, to ensure the sport developed in a positive direction, and fairly for all pilots regardless of their position in the championship. A pilot himself, Judd’s knowledge was instrumental in ensuring the planes were in the best shape possible.

A great guy who will be sadly missed:( many happy memories of some good times, an incident in Al Ain with a swiming pool and a slide will live with me forever!! Thoughts are with his wife Sharon and daughters at this terrible time. 🙁

Blue skies mate and i’ll keep the dancing going just for you.
