Return To Kitty Hawk Race

42 Gliders Race Cross-Country To July 4th At Kill Devil Hill

Pilots and crews are gearing up for the "Return to Kitty Hawk Race" which starts on June 19th in California and ends July 4th at Kitty Hawk. The gliders will be the featured event of the festivities on that day in Kitty Hawk.

Route

Except for June 19 at Crystal and July 4 at Kitty Hawk, the departure date for each leg is subject to change depending on the soaring weather. Project leaders say they'll use the spare days to attempt to optimize tasking for the weather and minimize pilot and crew fatigue. [Note: Organizers say their original plan was to start on June 17 with a July 2 arrival in Kitty Hawk. When the National Park Service asked them to be the big event on July 4 they moved the plan two days. Legs are subject to change.] Jim Payne is handling the western legs (through Dallas). John Murray is handling the eastern legs.

Pilots will take tows and make six mile final glides to First Flight Airport, Kill Devil Hill (NC). http://www.airnav.com/airport/KFFA www.outerbankschamber.com
