AVweb's search of aviation news around the world found an aircraft restoration competition, news from the upcoming Air Race Classic, a partnership between Jet Logistics and Medflight One, and the Aero Club of New England's annual award announcement.The National Aviation Heritage Invitational (NAHI) is proud to be able to create the Best Contemporary trophy in honor of Steven F. Udvar-Hazy, who revolutionized commercial aircraft financing, was the founder of ILFC, and was the driving force behind the Steven F. Udvar Hazy annex of the Air and Space Museum at Washington Dulles Airport. When the 39th Annual Air Race Classic (ARC) takes off in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 22, two Huntsville pilots, Ramona Banks and Caroline Hodges, will be taking off with a higher purpose in mind: to raise awareness and funds to benefit FlyQuest, a non-profit organization based in Huntsville whose mission is to awaken dreams and provide educational opportunities for young people to pursue aerospace and aviation careers.
