The AirDawgs

Donation protected
The Women’s Air Race Classic is an annual nationwide air race exclusively for female pilots. Since its inception in 1977, the race has celebrated the spirit of women in aviation, skill, and adventure along female pilots. From all over the nation competitors navigate through challenging routes, showcasing their expertise and passion for flying. Team members work together to develop strategies to get the airplane to move as fast as it can over the ground without compromising safety.

Southern Illinois University (SIU) has been incredibly generous by allowing us to borrow an airplane from its fleet, as well as cover the costs of fuel. It is up to the team to fund the registration fee, hotels, food and transportation along the route. We are incredibly grateful for any donation to assist us in our journey.

The AirDawgs will be represented by Grace Gray (pilot) and Gabi Loeb (copilot). Grace is a current student at SIU, working on her Commercial Certificate. Gabi is currently instructing at SIU and graduated from the program in December 2022. Follow our page to watch us take on the race!
