Welcome to our Events Page
In addition to having our Chapter events posted here, we’ll try to keep this page updated with local or regional aviation events. The best way to identify what type of activity you’re looking at is to check out the logo. Chapter Business Meetings will have the RHS logo, Southwest Section events will use the SWS logo. Social events will use the colorful people with puzzle pieces logo, fundraising events will have the $ sign, and flying events will feature a cartoon woman flying a plane. All other evens will use the event logo. If you have an event you would like us to add, please let us know!

Palms to Paines Air Race
Traditionally, the annual Palms to Pines Air Race took place each summer at the end of July or beginning of August, with teams flying from Santa Monica to central Oregon (approximately 750 statute miles).
The race ran consecutively for 40 years until 2009, making it the longest-running all-female air race. Each year, anywhere from 30-60 planes participated with teams or solo pilots from all over the western United States. After a hiatus, in 2022, the race returned, now organized by the LA99s.
