DAY 2 2009 Air Race Classic 17 via Snow Eagles Air Racing Team
to Benefit GRACE FLIGHT of AMERICA
So, since the pics were uploaded backwards...
We end the day in Jacksonville, IL with the setting sun in our eyes for the final fly-by. And what an interesting fly-by it turns out to be: there is a prison @ 3.5NM on the approach path that we must stay up @ 2000' to pass over. Our fly-by height is 200' above ground level. So, as RACERS, we get to descend at a screaming pace to be at the altitude we need to be at for the timing line (can you see my grin??) Then a close pattern to land in a beautiful part of the country. ...

We went to watch the first stop in this 2400 mile all woman air race yesterday. I had the perfect spot as my hanger faces the runway and shaded us from the sun and we could hear them calling in with my portable radio. It was pretty exciting around 11am when the majority of the planes were arriving at once. They had to fly by the officials (down the active at 200') then either continue on to Sweetwater, TX (if they had enough fuel) or enter the pattern to stop. At one point there was a dual fly-by with a plane departing and several in line landing. I have never seen so many planes at one time at our airport (KLBL)... It was pretty cool and the ladies looked / sounded like they were having the time of their lives. http://www.airraceclassic.org/
I think a multiple day cross country race would be a lot of fun. Are there any races like that for us guys or couples?
