Quick Snapshots!

Here are a few pictures taken by yours truly, LaVonne Farney. LaVonne is the one who is gracious enough to take countless "first solo" pictures at K-State Salina. LaVonne does countless things for the aviation program out of the "flight operations" room in the Aviation Center on campus (mainly keeping all the pilots in line!). Thanks for sharing some pictures LaVonne!

This picture includes (Left to Right):
Niki, Merritt, Kali, Dr. Kurt Barnhart

*(Niki is a previous air race competitor and also helped this year in getting paperwork and logistics handled so that the ladies could compete. THANKS Niki for ALL your hard work!!)

*(Dr. Barnhart is the K-State Salina Aviation Department Head)



Here is a picture of Kali and Merritt with the tail number, race number, and our beloved wildcat on the C172's:



Today (Saturday) Kali and Merritt will be getting through all the check-in information. This part consists of verifying paperwork, going through an aircraft inspection and run up, as well as completing other various tasks for race preparation.

Today will also be their first full day of meeting other air race competitors, as well as a chance to see their collegiate competitors. Today will be long and busy, but maybe the girls will have time to write a personal note about their adventure thus far.
