OUR STORY

WE'RE FLYING THE 2024 AIR RACE CLASSIC

Amanda and Alaina met through the Colorado chapter of the 99's and have become good friends who love to fly together, learn from one another, and are passionate about aviation and empowering women in the industry. Flying in the Air Race Classic is an opportunity for both women to refine essential skills such as navigation, route planning, weather analysis, resource management, and more. We're excited for the growth we will experience through this event and how it will contribute to our personal and professional development.

THE AIR RACE CLASSIC

The ARC is an all-female air race with roots dating back to 1929. From the earliest days of the Women's Air Derby through today, the race has been an opportunity for women pilots to display their skill, cultivate self-confidence, learn from one another, and build enduring friendships. It is the ultimate test of piloting skill and aviation decision making.

From its early beginnings, the ARC has been dedicated to:

  • Encouraging and educating current and future women pilots

  • Increasing public awareness of general aviation

  • Demonstrating women's roles in aviation

  • Preserving and promoting the tradition of pioneering women in aviation
     

The 47th annual ARC and will be held from June 18 - 21, 2024. This year's race route spans 2,269 nautical miles. Contestants are given four days, flying VFR in daylight hours, to reach the terminus.
