This doesn’t happen by accident.
Training.
Cardio.
Hydration on lock.
Fueling the body the right way.
All so we’re ready to spend 31 straight hours in a car - pushing forward behind 500 horsepower from a Coyote motor, mile after mile, without quitting.
Because finishing this run matters.
We’re doing it for Tango Thirty One Aero Clube and the young people counting on this program to keep giving access, mentorship, and real opportunity in aviation.
This is the final push.
A proven cause.
A mission bigger than us
Let’s finish strong.

Built in 1944 shortly before the end of WWII, this beautiful P-51 Mustang fighter never left the US before the end of the war. It was transferred with other surplus fighters to Sea Island (Vancouver), Canada, in 1950, where it served in the RCAF until 1958, when it was sold out of the Crown Assets Disposal Corporation.
ㅤ
Vicky's aviation journey stretches over three decades, and she now holds an Airline Transport Pilot certificate along with commercial qualifications in helicopters, seaplanes, and gliders.
ㅤ
Recognized as “Rookie of the Year” in both the Sport and Jet categories, Vicky made history in 2015 by becoming the fastest woman to ever compete at the Reno Air Races, qualifying a unique L‑139 jet at an impressive 469.831 mph.
ㅤ
She has accumulated more than 8,500 hours in the air and completed over 1,300 parachute jumps.
