A Flying Cuban Sandwich Will Try to Break a World Record at Bayfront Park on Halloween
A Day in Miami and Sanguich have teamed up to build The Cuban Flyer — an oversized, human-powered flying craft shaped like Miami's most iconic sandwich — for Red Bull Flugtag on October 31.
Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
The iconic Cuban sandwich will soon reach new heights — literally. On Saturday, October 31, an oversized, human-powered flying craft shaped like the classic pressed favorite will attempt to soar across Biscayne Bay. Dubbed The Cuban Flyer, this airborne delicacy is set to take center stage at Bayfront Park as part of Red Bull Flugtag Miami.
The Team Behind the Craft
The project is a collaborative effort between popular local podcast A Day in Miami and Sanguich, the Little Havana-born sandwich spot boasting five consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand honors. A five-man team — comprising A Day in Miami’s Eduardo Moya and Kiko Suarez, Sanguich co-founder and trained engineer Daniel Figueredo, consultant Juan Pablo Gane, and CPA Jorge Dueñas — has traded standard kitchen prep for aerodynamics to turn ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard into a viable flying machine.
The Mission: Break the World Record
The crew has set a serious objective: shattering the Red Bull Flugtag world distance record of 78.5 meters (approximately 257.5 feet). Beyond aiming for the record books, the project serves as a sky-high tribute to Cuban heritage, local entrepreneurship, and the vibrant Miami spirit that brings the community together. Fans have been following the build process through weekly episodic videos released every Friday on social media, YouTube, and podcast platforms.
Red Bull Flugtag Miami takes place October 31, 2026 from 11 AM to 4 PM at Bayfront Park. The event is free and open to the public. Full details at redbull.com.
