On the 12th of June 2005 Rotterdam hosted the second stage of the Red Bull air race.
Some 700.000 people came to the banks of the Maas river to view this unique event.
Those who  had a waterfront apartment had the best views, but people could also be seen on rooftops of office buildings. The Erasmus bridge formed the start and finish line for the race.
Prior to the race a Sea Vixen, sponsored by Red Bull did a fly by, followed by a demonstration of a Royal Netherlands Navy Lynx helicopter and the Dutch participant on the race, Frank Versteegh, gave an aerobatic display.
