The Air Race Classic: Women's Air Derby

LaDonna Beaumont, a self-described “late bloomer,” will share her personal story of adventure and aviation. She plans to include her views on living outside of your comfort zone, believing in yourself, and quieting the negative voice in your head. LaDonna got her Private Pilot certificate at age 49, and she will tell us why she believes seeking adventure is critical at every age, but especially as we get older.
