Registration Opens for 2020 Air Race Classic
The all-women's cross-country race celebrates its 44th year
Registration for the 44th edition of the Air Race Classic has opened. The all-women's cross-country air race takes place from June 23 to 26, 2020, flying from Grand Forks, North Dakota, to Terre Haute, Indiana, and several stops in between.
The course will cover 2,646 miles, and racers have essentially four days to complete the nine legs, which have stops in Pierre, South Dakota; Sheridan, Wyoming; Sterling, Colorado; Dodge City, Kansas; Ada, Oklahoma; Pine Bluff, Arkansas; Mount Vernon, Illinois; and Tullahoma, Tennessee. The racers fly in pairs (or threesomes), and though at least one pilot must possess a current instrument rating or at least 500 hours of pilot-in-command time, the race is flown under VFR conditions only. The requirement has created interesting outcomes in past years, when weather turned fickle along the route.
