Red Bull Aircraft

The DC-6 is outfitted like a big business jet and used as such. I'm not sure what they do with the others.
 
As far as I know, the planes are not raced...but they are flown to air shows through out Europe. The inventor/Owner of Red Bull has more money than Forest Gump and he has done much to preserve a number or rare aircraft and to restore them to pristine condition. Can't recall all the details of how this started, but the first plane he sponsored was being restored by some dude and the Red Bull guy goes "I'll give you a crap load of money to put my brand on your plane" Well, maybe not those words exactly...but you get the picture. There followed a partnership between a guy with more money than should be legal and the guy who finds and restores the planes.

Red Bull no longer sponsor the Vixen, she's now back in a lovely 899sqn scheme. Unfortunately she doesnt seem to fly much since losing the sponsorship money though.
