When Kali and Merritt arrive in Colorado, they will have several items to attend to. Since they will be busy being first-time racers, I will be updating their blog periodically with news and information. My name is Robin Laws. I am a graduate of K-State Salina’s Aviation program and previous Air Race Classic Competitor. Here’s the latest news:
The girls will be taking off from Salina, Kansas (KSLN) and heading to Denver, Colorado-to land at the Centennial Airport (KAPA). The trip will take them around 3.5 hours and is a distance of about 340 Nautical Miles.
There has been a short delay in departure, as our awesome maintenance staff is making a few final adjustments before the ladies depart.
(yes I still call them “our” maintenance crew-the K-State Maintenance crew is among some of the finest.-ok so I am a BIT biased, but seriously-these guys have worked effortlessly over the past several years to ensure that the air race teams are taken care of. When I raced, they even made sure that the aircrafts were washed, waxed, and even had a “to-go” cleaning kit with anything that we might need throughout the trip. The term “AWESOME” just doesn’t do them justice!)
Have a safe flight ladies!!!
