She's PLUM CRAZY

She's PLUM CRAZY

I had the distinct privilege of meeting Vicky Benzing at the Bremerton Air Show. What a great lady of aviation! She has too many accolades to list here but I will share one that stands out to me personally. She captured a 4th place finish among the Gold racers in the Unlimited Class at the Reno National Championship Air Races.  That plane was the P-51 Mustang in the photos, "Plum Crazy" and the airplane was stock. She is only the second woman ever to race in the Unlimited Class in the 59-year history of the Reno Air Races and the only woman to have raced in three classes- Sport, Jet, and Unlimited. It was a such a pleasure to chat with her. Check out her bio at https://lnkd.in/gmRQDBBB
