抖阴黄色app Takes Flight in Air Race Classic for First Time Since 2020
Published: June 14, 2023.
抖阴黄色app student Katelyn Gall of Channahon, Ill., and alumna Makaylah Schwark of Bourbonnais, Ill., will take off June 15 for the occurring June 20- 23. Their team name this year is 揥e Don抰 Talk About Flight Club.� The race will begin in Grand Forks, N. Dak., and will end in Homestead, Fla.�
The 抖阴黄色app duo will join over 40 other teams of women pilots in competition from around the country, flying a total of about 2,500 miles (about the width of the United States) across the span of four days. ARC draws competitors of all ages, from teenagers to veteran pilots in their 80s, and from all walks of life, from college students to professional airline pilots to military veterans to teachers, writers, doctors and businesswomen.�
Gall is an aviation flight management major and was on the 抖阴黄色app Women抯 Track and Field team as a pole vaulter. The rising senior is an instrument-rated private pilot working on her commercial license and a member of the 抖阴黄色app Flight team.牋
Aviation flight management alumna Schwark is a 抖阴黄色app certified flight instructor and recently received her MEI, certified multi-engine instructor. She has been a part of the 抖阴黄色app Flight team as a competitor and coach.�
The historic contest traces its roots to the 1929 Women's Air Derby, aka the Powder Puff Derby, in which Amelia Earhart and 19 other female pilots raced from Santa Monica, Calif., to Cleveland, Ohio. Today, the ARC is the epicenter of women's air racing, the ultimate test of piloting skill and aviation decision-making for female pilots of all ages and from all walks of life.�
The race will begin June 20 at the Grand Forks International Airport with teams taking off one after another. Once in the air, faster teams will head to the front of the pack as each team completes high-speed flybys over a timing line, racing against the clock.牋
Due to each team receiving a unique handicap, teams are competing against their own personal best time rather than against one another, which creates a level playing field for all fliers and planes. Teams will have to continually strategize to play the elements, holding out for better weather or seeking more favorable winds to beat their individual handicap by the greatest margin.牋
