Billy O'Hara of BP Air, Lumberton NJ is our mechanic this year, and this weekend he signed off N222VW for its annual inspection. Billy and his team do a great job, and he even test flies and washes the airplane before releasing it. With the annual inspection done, I was able to complete the registration paperwork for the race, and submit it to race central; and to start scheduling the handicap check ride with our check ride pilot, fellow racer Mary Gibb.
You can see more details about the Air Race Classic (a transcontinental, all-women air race with its origins in 1929) at www.airraceclassic.org. This year's race is from Prescott Arizona to Daytona Beach Florida. We still have a lot of work to do to get ready!
