Wild Women of the Wind will fly together again!
We cannot say no to 2009. We both had way too much fun
last year, and we met awesome people along the way. The
adventure is calling us back. We are determined to do
better this year. We will raise more money for NMSS, and
we will be smarter racers!!! |

hunt for a low start number and have entered the "Top Ten"
drawing at the Women in Aviation conference. |

We
are Classic 4! We will be #4 in the taxi

this year. J Really. |

The countdown
begins. It's hard to keep my mind from drifting away to
the Air Race. We have lots of loose ends to tie up...oil
change and final check on the plane...wash and wax for the
plane...packing (lightly)...waiting for our race shirts to get
done...one last set of decals for the plane...applying our
decals - race numbers, Wild Women of the Wind, NMSS logo.
Waiting for a few more charts to arrive along with my approach
plates for the flight from Iowa City to Denver. The winds
are light to moderate - thank you
Sue Kimmel...Jody
Hovland...Lori
Wallrath. |
