Beware the Red Bull Air Force

What's the point of having money if you can't enjoy spending it? In their quest to keep teenagers from ever sleeping, the makers of Red Bull have acquired a hangar full of antique aircraft including a P-38-Lightning and a North American B-25J. Are they planning an invasion?

The planes are housed in Austria and include, amongst other toys, an F4U-Corsair a Piper Super Cub, Pilatus PC-6 Porter, the great Douglas DC-6, and a bunch of helicopters. It is overkill to the extreme, but if painting up planes in wild schemes helps preserve them there are worst sponsors (Oh no, it's the Depends Air Force!). They also have a Cobra attack helicopter.

Below you can see them showing off at the Berlin Air Show last year. And because they want to get people on all sides of global conflicts hyped up caffeine there's even an ME-109.

Are we sure Four Loko was pulled because it was dangerous? Or did they just get the crap bombed out of them.
