With Sass and Class, Women Fly the 2021 Air Race Classic Air Derby
There was something new for women air racers this year: An Air Derby.
While the Air Race Classic traditionally holds a four-day cross-country race, that was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. In 2021, race officials, concerned about a resurgence of COVID-19, opted to hold a one-day Air Derby. It proved popular with the racers, with more than 200 made up into 84 teams competing between June 12 and 26, 2021, in the United States, Canada, the Bahamas, and New Zealand.
With team names like 1stAvi8, Brazucas, No BS Fly Girls, Valley Valkyries, ARC Angels, Cloud Surfers, Cheetah Champs, Aerodynamic Aviatrices, Miss 'Behavin, Liberty Belles, Chick Clique, Kiwi Express, and my personal favorite — Estrogen Chemtrails — the pilots ranged in age from 17 to 72 with attitude to spare.
