Friends of the Hayward Air Rally,
First and foremost, registration for the 62nd Hayward Air Rally is now open! Come out and join us for a day of flying, fun, and friendship!
This year's destination will again be Sacramento McClellan Airport (MCC), with our evening awards banquet at the Aerospace Museum of California on the field at MCC. Museum admission is included with the rally entry, so after arriving at MCC, you'll have the choice of spending the afternoon browsing museum exhibits or relaxing in our hospitality suite at the adjacent Lions Gate Hotel.
The registration form and an advertising flyer is available on the rally website http://www.hwdairrally.org. Sign up to fly and also help us spread the word!
Also open for applications at this time is our 2026 aviation scholarship. We plan to make one or more awards totalling $3000 to qualifying applicants who are actively pursuing an aviation-related career. The scholarship is open to Hayward and Sacramento area residents, 18 years or older. Complete details and the application form are available at https://scholarship.hwdairrally.org.
The rally is now on Instagram! While I'll continue to send boring, old-fashioned emails from time to time, follow us at https://www.instagram.com/haywardairrally/ for videos and other content related to the rally and scholarship.
Finally, if you are interested in volunteering to help on the ramp at HWD or MCC (marshalling/parking aircraft or shuttling participants), please get in touch with us!
One way or another, we hope to see you at the rally!
Blue skies,
The Hayward Air Rally Committee
