| 18 years as a Flight Instructor, Corporate Pilot, Airline Pilot and Air Race Pilot paid off three years ago at the Reno National Championship Air Races.
In his 5th year racing Reno, Will has entered a very exclusive club flying “VOODOO.” The 500 MPH club is made up of a very small group of race pilots who have gone over 500 MPH on the Unlimited racecourse behind a propeller. He will discuss the challenges, rewards and pitfalls of pushing a WWII fighter to its limit and beyond. | |
