National Air Race Entries Now Available
Pat Keefer, President,
U.S. Air Race, Inc. has asked ANN to help spread the word about the
2004 National Air Races.
"Honor the Past. Invest in the Future" is the theme for the U.S.
Air Race, Inc. celebration of the sparkling 75th Diamond
Anniversary of the 1929 National Air Races.
Events are run over a weeklong period. Two cross-country air
races are typically held at locations that foster touring and many
special events and activities surround the competitions. Teams are
welcome to compete as racers or fly along at cruise power
settings.
The teams in the exciting cross-country Marion Jayne Air Race
will fly from California to Cleveland and 300-mile air races are
also planned. Participants will have the opportunity to fly in
honor of a 1929 racer and/or dedicate an aviation youth scholarship
at one of the route stops.
As in 2003, teams may compete in cruise, speed and collegiate
divisions. Custom divisions are possible for five or more
teams.
These fabulous flying events will be held from August 28 to
September 6, 2004 with awards given at the Cleveland National Air
Show.
The U.S. Air Race, Inc. -- a charitable enterprise dedicated to
the sport of cross country flying and provides scholarships to
young people interested in aviation -- was founded by famed race
pilot Marion Jayne. She is the only U.S. pilot to have raced twice
around the world. She placed second in the 1992 race and won the
FAI Gold Medal in 1994.
