Air Race Classic

---

In one month's time the Air Race Classic 2015 will gather in Fredericksburg, Va. to start the 2500 statute mile adventure. I am proud to be chosen as a member of "Sky Dancers", team #31, piloted by Tamra Sheffman of Miami Beach, Fl.

We will be flying Tamra's Cessna 182. Ther are eight stops along the route, and 2 fly by's, which must be completed in four days of flying dawn to dusk. The Air Race Classic receives wide-spread publicity due to the fact that it is an all female pilot air derby, with the original race having been flown in 1929. ( aka: The Powder Puff Derby). Racers range in age from 17 to 90 years of age and normally fly a stock or minimally modified airplane. Since the race is based on the pilots knowledge of how to best fly the weather and winds that are present, the winner is not known until after the final entrant crosses the finish line!

Stay tuned for photos and updates on the race and the handi-capping procedures!
