As a six-time French champion in five different classes, from "Hopeful" (2007) to "Unlimited" (2021), she made aviation history by becoming the first woman to take part in the famous Red Bull Air Race as a Challenger. In 2019, she was English champion and runner-up in the French Unlimited category and finished seventh in this class at the World Championships. Across all disciplines, Mélanie Astles has accumulated 4500 flying hours.
Klemens "Klemi" Keller, a passionate aviator, began his dream of flying as a boy. After his training at the FVS (1978/79) and glider towing in Grenchen, he completed his SLS with Swissair (1988/89). From 1989 to 2022, he worked as an airline pilot for Swissair and Swiss, most recently as a captain on Airbus A330/A340s. With 19,000 flying hours, including 1,500 hours on SEPs and over 1,000 hours on tailwheel aircraft, he is also active as chief flight instructor at the Altenrhein Aviation Museum. He also teaches as a flight instructor on the Boeing Stearman and Do 27.
The combination of many years of experience and fresh enthusiasm makes Team Niebergall a crowd-puller at aviation events. Nico Niebergall, aged just 27, has only had his pilot's license for a decade, but his passion for flying was literally born in his cradle. His father Ralf has been in the air since 1987, long before Nico was born.
Henry Bohlig is considered the old master of aerobatics, who has been flying since 1975. He was the first in the world to introduce glider aerobatics at dusk with fireworks. With over 45 participations in national and international aerobatic competitions, Bohlig has taken part in more competitions than most pilots.
After more than 25 years of formation aerobatics with his father Walter Eichhorn, Toni now flies solo with his EXTRA 330 LT. "LT" stands for "Low Wing-Tourer" and means that the low-wing aircraft is a compromise between a touring and aerobatic airplane. According to the manufacturer, the maximum cruising speed is 205 knots or 380 km/h and the maximum permissible load multiple is x/- 10G!
The Red Bull Blanix team combines a passion for precision flying and breathtaking aerial acrobatics.
