Women of the Air Race Classic visit area from www.spartaexpositor.com
Thirty-two teams of women flyers trimmed their flaps over White County last week when Upper Cumberland Regional Airport served as a checkpoint for the 80th Annual Air Race Classic, which tested pilot's abilities and their planes performance.
"The race is all women," said Terry Carbonell, a race participant and secretary of the organization's Board of Directors. "And you have to have at least a pilot and a co-pilot. You can take extra crew members. But the pilot or the co-pilot, one of the two, has to have 500 hours pilot-in-command or instrument rating. So you have to have some experience." ...

OK, this contest is a bit different. For starters, the winnings: $150 worth of APR and/or Drawings & Documents downloads. Rather higher than usual. Secondly: no time limit. Thirdly: I have no friggen' clue what the hell this is.
So the rules are simple: tell me what the hell this is. It was a display model that was auctioned off online some years back, with, IIRC, some reference to it being an X-15 related design. In order to win, you have to not only tell me what it is… you have to back it up. Scans or photocopies of official reports, diagrams, artwork, whatever, that spell it out. The first person to do so wins. ...

Hello, Battle Creek! Rain and general malaise last night on the way here. Again! Must be a theme developing each year.
But a reasonably nice morning. No balloon launch, though. The winds are fine, but ceilings were pretty low at 6:00 when I showed up at the airport. The word had apparently already gone out to the balloonists because nobody was there around briefing time. Normally, if there's going to be a launch, the place is full of hyper-caffeinated balloon crews with trailers. ...

AirRace Classic Recap from The Girls With Wings Blog
Please allow me just one more post about the AirRace. I referred to the generosity and camaraderie that I saw on the race in earlier posts and just wanted to share more about that with you.
My biggest reason for doing this post is because I intend to become much more involved with the race in years to come. I have been donating items for the silent auction for a while, but I should have had Girls With Wings tracking the teams throughout the races so that we can better celebrate the uniqueness of this annual event. I would also like to see a lot more attention from the general public (and of course the aviation enthusiasts) focused on the annual races. Oh, and I'd also like to run it again! Anyone else need a co-pilot? ...
