The 40th Air Race Classic begins today and should conclude on the 24th. It is limited to basic airplanes, visual flying (VFR), daylight flying, and a prescribed route. Planes are handicapped (sorry, “differently-abled”) based on speed. Teams must be all-female and include at least two pilots. The site, airraceclassic.org, has a “follow the race” link with a live map.
[I’m not sure how a “women’s air race” makes sense in our transgender age. I asked a pilot who has been involved with the race for a few years if I could participate if I identified as a woman. She said that I would be excluded. I asked “You want to promote women in aviation but you’re hostile to the transgendered?”]
Did the pilot you asked at least laugh at your question? I did!
Are you participating in an air race or just watching? Are you rated for acrobatics?
Is East Coast Aero a training center for the new Drone Pilot certificate?
