Not racing this year? Please consider volunteering!

Volunteers make the race happen. Did you know that everyone working to support Air Race Classic is a volunteer?nbsp; The Air Race Classic Board of Directors is an all volunteer group of women, passionate about promoting women in aviation who devote an incredible amount of time and energy all year long to make this race happen.

The ARC Board of Directors held their board last meeting at Fryeburg, Maine.

It takes hundreds of volunteers doing all sorts of things to make the race a success.  Please consider joining us!  Volunteers are needed at the Start, the Terminus and at each of the en route stop airports. Handicap pilots are needed prior to the race as well as volunteers willing to help out behind on the scenes on the administrative side.  Contact us via the How to Volunteer page on the website.

Please be a sponsor!  You will be helping women maximize their aviation skills.

Without you we can't get this done.
