test of pilot skills. Rob and Mike will join in the celebration of
the 75th anniversary of cross country air racing.
What does it take to enter? As long as your plane is FAA
Airworthy with a current annual and insurance of $1,000,000, you

important bragging rights. You get to have a great excuse to go

Some folks don't realize that the US Air Race also offers an Air
