Tamra and I really believed we would be able to sit down each evening, after a full day of racing, but that thought ended immediately.

The first racer was up and away at 8a.m. sharp, and, within 45,minutes the rest of the teams were in the air and on their way to the first mandatory fly-by! An absolutely amazing sight , watching for other racers in the air, checking speeds of the other airplanes, and keeping on track for Morganton, North Carolina, a mere 251.99 nautical miles ahead!

Excited about flying in the air race classic with so many amazing fellow pilots! I will be co- piloting with Tamra Sheffman in her Cessna 182P. This will be Tamra's 9th air race and my first. Between the two of us, we have over 27 years of flying experience in single engines, twins and seaplanes. We are competing in the air race to help promote women in aviation and to remind everyone, everywhere, that if you want to do something, just go do it. Women can fly!!... full info
