The Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Insti­tute (AAMI) has cho­sen the Nation­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Cen­tre of Excel­lence (NAAMCE) at Spring­field-Beck­ley Munic­i­pal Air­port (K‑SGH) as the host city for the 100-year revival of the 1920s speed com­pe­ti­tion that bore the Pulitzer name, reports a press release. The Pulitzer Elec­tric Air­craft Race is to be host­ed this year between Octo­ber 10th and 13th. 

Recre­at­ed for the mod­ern era, this his­toric race will attract today’s elec­tric flight inno­va­tions from coun­tries around the world, to cel­e­brate a cen­tu­ry of avi­a­tion progress, while con­firm­ing Ohio as a key hub for Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM).

Ted Angel, Exec­u­tive Direc­tor of NAAMCE, com­ment­ed, “We are thrilled to wel­come the Pulitzer Elec­tric Air­craft Race to Spring­field, Ohio, to cel­e­brate its cen­te­nary. We hope the race will inspire avi­a­tion enthu­si­asts of all ages!” 

Top con­tenders, Sali­nas and Stock­ton, Cal­i­for­nia, were among the 3 final­ists for host city. Both pre­sent­ed strong bids, demon­strat­ing a com­mit­ment to pro­mote elec­tric avi­a­tion. How­ev­er, Spring­field earned the high­est com­pos­ite score of 96.3 to win.
