Support Women in Aviation!

Donation protected
We would like to share the opportunity with you to inspire and encourage young women across the country. We are three passionate female pilots who are going to fly from Santa Barbara to Virginia to compete in the Air Race Classic  . The Air Race Classic was started in 1929 as the first air race for women pilots. In the last 85 years the Air Race has stood as a pillar event for women in aviation. Like the founders of the first Women's Air Derby in 1929, we are passionate about aviation and encouraging women and girls to learn how to fly. The opportunity to fly in the Air Race Classic is an incredible achievement in itself and we wouldn't feel safe without having received thorough training at Above All Aviation  - both Aravni and Jessie have their instrument ratings and Topaz is a commercial multi-engine pilot.

This summer we are embarking on a cross-country flight from Santa Barbara, CA (KSBA) to Fredericksburg, VA (KRMN) to participate in the Air Race Classic. The Air Race is an opportunity for women pilots to fly together and increase visibility of women in aviation. In addition to the Air Race which is nearly 2,000NM, our flights to and from the race will put nearly 6,000miles and 60 hours of flight time in our logbooks.

OUR GOAL is to reach as many young women as possible along our route by presenting the short documentary “Our Piece of the Sky ” about women in aviation during organized fly-ins to airports in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. The fly-ins are designed to be interactive and are our way of connecting with communities across the country and sharing our enthusiasm for aviation everywhere we go! Women make up just 6% of the pilot population worldwide and visibility is key for inspiring the next generation of female pilots.

The funds we require will cover our registration fees, fuel to, from, and during the race, as well as accomodations during our adventure. Above All Aviation is generously donating the use of the airplane to, from, and during the Air Race. These costs total $12,000.

This is an opportunity for any person or business who believes in the power of women following their dreams to support us. As a business, your support of $500 or more will be showcased all across the country on our race shirts and advertised on decals on our Cessna 182.

Our sponsors are a crucial part of our team. Together we will inspire thousands of young women in 15 states to pursue their dreams and reach for the skies, regardless of obstacles.

Further information about us, our goal, and our route of flight can be found on our website: www.aboveallflygirls.com.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to you joining the Above All Fly Girls team!

Blue skies,
Jessie, Aravni, and Topaz
