InterFlight
Studio sponsors Air Race Classic Team 8 and hosts fundraising
event at the gallery
Gallery owner
Yvette Garcia spoke to the crowd and wished the flying duo, Tamra
Sheffman and Kristen Jurn, lots of luck on their inspiring journey
in the Classic Air Race, also flown by Amelia Earhart. Garcia
then went on to introduce Barrington Irving who gave a heartwarming
speech praising the "ladies in red" for their participation
in the Air Race and touching upon his own world record-setting
flight around the globe as the youngest (at 27 years) and first
black man to do so. Guests enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and wines while
appreciating the contemporary art by Flight Studio Gallery's female
artists Desiree
Bordes and Jo-Ann
Lizio. A very successful silent auction helped
raise funds for the Air Race and concluded a very successful evening.
InterFlight Studio supported Classic 8 as Tamra Sheffman and Kristen
Jurn took off in their Cessna 182 from Opa Locka Airport and WPLG
Channel 10 news was there to cover their inspiring story!
Many friends
and sponsors came to see them off. Also there, was Barrington
Irving and his students from Experience Aviation. First stop for
the flying duo, Tallahassee for lunch and then on to Monroe, LA
to stay with friends for the evening.
