We await some photo uploads and details of the last leg but we are happy to report that the ladies zoomed by the last timing line in a fly-by to continue on to Daytona Beach to join the remaining airplanes in the race. The Purple Hearts officially complete 2720 miles of the race and after a number of impossible set-backs, somehow finished fast and strong with 2.5 hours to spare before the end of race deadline.
Congratulations to the entire team. Special consideration goes to the sponsors: Hartford Jet Center, Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, Steve Christino of Exxcel Avionics, and of course the incredible generosity of ARCHER II PARTNERS, LLC. for use of their pretty bird with the PURPLE HEART of a lion.
