More than 200 women pilots are set to compete in the 2021 Air Race Classic Air Derby.
Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and concern for the health of all involved, the Air Race Classic modified its annual race into a one-day derby format retaining many of the ARC traditions, including its mission of education, according to organizers.
"The ARC Air Derby will be a flying proficiency event that will highlight ARC basics: All women participation, VFR flight with multiple legs, leg timing, and awards," officials said. "Participants will have their choice of the route, aircraft, team composition, and the day to fly within a range of two weeks."
