Event Spokesman Confirms FAA Race Approvals Still Under Way...
BUT NOT YET GRANTED
In a story broken last week by ANN and earning extensive concern
and attention from the airshow and air racing community, we have
confirmed that UARC (Ultimate Air Race Challenge) has eliminated
controversial Pilot David Riggs from its program. First described
as "Mixed Martial Arts with Airplanes," it appears that the
fledgling race program is reshuffling its pilot roster in order to
present a more conservative profile to an industry wary of
controversy and the potential of bad press.
