Duffman may be a coward, but Justin Zollitsch, a recent UW-Madison graduate, certainly isn’t. Zollitsch will don a Duffman costume to pilot a Red Bull Flugtag contraption called Can in the Clouds. Flugtag is German for “flying day.” Red Bull has held more than 20 worldwide, where Aircraft must be entirely human-powered. Zollitsch and friend Eric Drazkowski designed a can of Duff Beer with a 30-foot wing span and propeller. Whether he pilots or not, Zollitsch will don spandex and play Duffman for the preflight skit. “I’m gonna do flips down the runway prior to take-off to pump up the crowd. Though I might shy away from the pelvic thrusts” that are Duffman’s hallmark. Red Bull Flugtag is being held in Chicago’s Monroe Harbour this Saturday August 9th at 11am.
