Thank you!!!
Thank you so much, to all our friends that have donated. The money will be used to help fund the fuel that we will be needing to participate in the race. We are definitely overwhelmed by all the support that we're getting and it is fueling our determination to do well in the race!
This is how well we did so far:
- We were able to raise 71% of our goal, the goal being $2000
- That 71% came from 3 different source: cash, check and crowd funding campaign.
We are hoping to get fully funded on the crowd funding campaign. There is still 2 days left, so if you are considering to donate, then you still have time to do so! We would be very grateful and there are awesome perks that are waiting for you. Find our crowd funding campaign on:
In case you don't feel comfortable donating via the internet, then just send me an email, nancybradshaw@gmail.com, and I'll send you my mailing address.
Poker Run Fun!
My chapter of the 99s, the Antelope Valley 99s, held the annual fund raising Poker Run at William J Fox Airfield. It was a great day to fly and there was a great turn out from local aviators. Aerotech News published a wonderful article of the event:

Air Race Prep
In preparation of the air race we've been busy getting the aircraft paperwork in compliance with race rules. A fellow aviatrix told me, that just getting through the race without being disqualified, should be considered a win. I did kind of wonder what that meant, what would be harder than racing itself? But I'm slowly seeing the point, just getting everything in order to be able to race is a challenge all in itself. It will be a victory to get to the start line with an aircraft that is qualified to race. You will be kept in the know, every step of the way. Stay tuned!
