Palm Beach County certainly put its mark on Saturday’s Flugtag Miami.

What’s that?

It’s an event put together by the energy drink company Red Bull in which folks in homemade gliders launch from a 30-foot platform over water and try to fly for the farthest.

This type of competition has long been favored by wacky Europeans who crash into icy waters in places like Hamburg or Amsterdam.

But in Miami, more than 80,000 people gathered in Bayfront Park Saturday afternoon to watch an ingenious team from Palm Beach Gardens win in something that looked like a race car built by the Wright brothers.

Team Formula Flug pilot Daniel Bazzani, and flight crew Karl Scherer, Steve Silder, Rich Lamb and Lenny Wengler had their contraption fly 54 feet before a Sullenberger-style landing.

For their work, the crew won real flying lessons.

In all, thirty-four teams from all over the country, including Jupiter and Boca, competed. Click here for the photos

The Yanks are in town, beating the Florida Marlins soundly last night in the first game of a three-part weekend series. But the Bronx Bombers’ main attraction, slugger Alex Rodriguez, has been left on the bench to, among other nasty habits, pick his nose and drool sunflower seeds.

No wonder Madonna gave up on the guy! (Photo exclusive to Page2Live)
