The 1800mm long by 1300mm high, navy blue case contains a complete engineering and service workshop, including clean and dirty work benches, a vice and full set of 10 drawers containing enough tools and spares to keep his hot-rodded Zivko Edge 540 single-seat-single-engine aerobatics plane going for a year.
A separate section at the back of the case contains other essentials, including two mountain bikes (for Bonhomme and his race engineer Wade Hammond), a kettle and a toaster.
The Red Bull Air Race is an adrenalising flying competition staged around the world, pitting the speed and precision skills of the world's most talented pilots against each other. There's a total of 10 races and 13 pilots, three from the UK including Bonhomme.
The next Red Bull Air Race takes place in London for the first on Sunday 29 July - the pilots will zip through the course just a few metres above the River Thames near The O2.
