Imagine zooming through the air at 415 miles per hour in a personal aircraft you designed and built from scratch. That’s all in a day’s work for Jon Sharp, the “winningest pilot in air racing.” Jon and his wife Patricia Sharp, the team behind Nemesis Air Racing, will offer an insiders’ look at the thrilling sport of air racing, as well as the process of designing and building the planes that break world speed records. The GE Aviation Lecture Series is made possible by the generous support of GE Aviation.
