MGA Student Places 4th in National Air Race Classic

Middle Georgia State University (MGA) aviation management major Annabelle Kellogg finished strong in the 2025 Air Race Classic, placing fourth in the competition class alongside her co-pilot Gretchen Jahn.

The duo, racing under the team name "Skunks," completed the grueling four-day, 2,400-mile route that began in Fairhope, Ala., and ended in Spokane, Wash., with stops across eight states. The Skunks name was a playful nod to the black-and-white color scheme of Kellogg’s 1965 Mooney M20E.

“My experience at the ARC was incredible,” Kellogg said. “Everyone was so supportive and helpful, and I really appreciated the camaraderie among the teams. It was inspiring to be surrounded by women who were so passionate about aviation and dedicated to flying a great race.”
