Earth Day Charity Flight

This year for Earth Day, the team offered up a charity flight to not only promote air racing, but also a chance for some fans to tour our troposphere like pilot's do every day - from the happiest place on earth - the COCKPIT! It was a gorgeous, gusty, sunny day awash with anticipation of a fun 108 nm flight around the city and the picturesque Connecticut coastline. 

Though the flight came off without a hitch, the gang faced a few challenging variables with a fully loaded plane, HOT weather, a Presidential TFR (temporary flight restriction), and some bumpy air thrown in just for fun. Everyone had a wonderful time and after today's flight - who knows maybe a couple of future pilots are in the offing?

Our thanks as always to Archer Partners LLC for donating the use of their pretty purple machine, Carl, Bill, and Ann for supporting our Earth Day charity tour and of course a few extra kudos from the whole team to everybody's favorite planet -  EARTH; you truly are awe-inspiring!
