Vintage Air Rally has 15 free places available for the once-in-a-lifetime trip, which will also fly over some of the globe’s most inaccessible and hostile locations. Not just mountains, glaciers, desert and jungle – but also some of the most lawless parts of the planet.
Entry for the spectacular journey opened yesterday, with all costs including travel, shipping, accommodation, food, fuel, permits, fees, immigration and insurance covered for the 42-day expedition in spring 2018. Everyone is welcome to enter. Even those with no flying experience can enter by simply finding a pilot with a plane and creating a team.
The Vintage Air Rally Ushuaia2USA will take off from Ushuaia dubbed ‘The End of the World’ in March 2018.
Vintage Air Rally is the brainchild of Sandhurst-trained British Army helicopter pilot Sam Rutherford. After years of flying special missions – including a secondment with the American Drug Enforcement Administration, fighting the drug cartels in Central America – Rutherford decided to create the VintageAirRally. These would be air rallies to bring together fans of vintage aviation from across the world – and make them available to everyone.
