68-Year-Old Pilot Wins Adventure Award | Irvine News
Description
Donna Harris, 68 and a veteran pilot turned Air Race Classic president, didn’t fly this year—but she soared as a mentor, guiding younger female pilots like a “sky mom” during the high-speed, nationwide race. A lifelong adventurer who’s sailed the Caribbean and traveled with Road Scholar, she won their Age Adventurously Day Contest after submitting an essay about her passion for aviation and lifelong learning. Winning came just as the race kicked off—amidst chaos managing 45 planes—and while the prize was a $500 travel voucher, its real value? A reminder that age is just a number when chasing wonder. She’s already planning a trip to Australia next year—and urges everyone to chase their own adventures, no matter how old they are.
