MAGNIFICENT men in their flying machines dazzled Sydney yesterday as a prelude to the city officially making a bid for the Red Bull Air Race. At a time when NSW is desperate to attract international extravaganzas to fill the post-Olympics void, Premier Kristina Keneally said she was "very interested" in the growing international sport.
