Female Team to Participate in “The Great AIR Race”
July 22, 2007 | Filed Under Adventure | Leave a Comment
Beginning August 5th, a team of female pilots — Team Skychick — will participate in an unparalleled air race which will pit 50 teams against each other flying through 35 states, touching all four corners of the US.
The race will last 13 days, cover 10,000 miles and require 100 hours of flight time. Participants are racing in many different types of certified and experimental aircraft. Dubbed “The Great Air Race,” this event will become a 13-week reality television series filmed by Papillon Productions.
Daniel E. Diaz, a Latin American writer/producer of true life dramas, and Director Donna Brown set out to create a race like no other with $1 Million in cash and prizes. Notably the longest air race in US history, pilots will compete both in the air and on the ground and be presented with real risks and unprecedented challenges.
Team Skyckick is an all-female team consisting of pilot Ramona Cox, aka SKYCHICK, and co-pilot Pia Bergqvist. Both are aircraft owners and their love for aviation and adventure led them to enter the race. “Unlike many of our competitors, we have never air-raced,” said Cox. “We will be competing against top racers and even military jet pilots.”

Adventurous activities high on the list include swimming with dolphins, such as here at Discovery Cove in Orlando. In addition to swimming with dolphins, Discovery Cove also offers teens the opportunity to snorkel with tropical fish and rays, hand-feed exotic birds and relax on pristine beaches.
