MGA student Annabelle Kellogg, 20, is preparing to compete in the 2025 Air Race Classic, an annual all-women cross-country airplane race. This year’s race overs around 2,400 miles and lasts four days, June 17-20, beginning in Fairhope, Ala., and ending in Spokane, Wash. Twelve colleges or universities with flight schools are fielding a total of 18 teams, while some participants, like Kellogg, are competing individually.
"I knew this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience," Kellogg said. "It will push me out of my comfort zone in the best way. I’ve been preparing since early January, juggling school, flying, aircraft readiness, required training, briefings, and paperwork. It’s been a major time commitment, but absolutely worth it."
