+++ RESENDING SCRIPT TO CORRECT INTRO +++ ROUGH CUT - SUBTITLED (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Dozens of colorful handmade aircraft attempted to fly off Hong Kong's old airport runway before plummeting into iconic Victoria Harbor on Sunday. The majority of the 41 funky and wonderful aircraft -- in shapes of cartoon characters, foods and animals -- plunged straight into the water. One of the contestants, Sylvia Tang, was inspired by a character from the famous ''Angry Birds'' game, saying she wanted to use the word ''angry'' to reflect the feeling of Hong Kong citizens towards the city's political situation. Hong Kong's third Red Bull Flugtag event drew hundreds of spectators. Members of the audience waved flags and cheered on the teams. Team "Blank Space" won the event flying through the air in a machine shaped like a green alien spaceship. The Red Bull Flugtag contest started in Vienna in 1992, and has now been held more than 44 countries including the United States, Germany and Australia. Hong Kong became the first city in Asia to host Red Bull Flugtag - 'flight day' in German - in 2010.
