If you have dreams of flying, here’s your chance.

Today is the last day to sign up for the Red Bull Flugtag. Red Bull Flugtag is the event that allows people to build their own aircraft, launch it off of a 30-foot platform, and attempt to pilot it over a body of water. The goal is to fly farther than any Flugtagger has flown before. The record, to date, is 258 feet.

For the first time, Flugtag is coming to Boston. And you have until midnight tonight to sign up for the competition, which will be held on the Charles River. Literally. On it.
