Remember when you were, like, six and your grandpa took you to that airshow? Kinda boring, right? Well the Red Bull Air Race World Series should change your mind about the whole going-to-see-planes thing.

The Air Race is what it sounds like: 12 pilots gun it around a course, skimming just 50 feet above land and water while doing 250 mph. They do their best to avoid those air-filled pylons, but obviously they knock into 'em occasionally.

The circuit flies into San Diego on May 3 for qualifying rounds and continues on race day, May 4. These nutsos will zip around the Big Bay between Embarcadero Park and Coronado Island. You'll need tickets, which start at $15; a two-day pass is a good deal at $30.
