Nicola "Bam Bam" Baumann, 1st Lt. is the second female to become a fighter pilot in the history of the German Air Force, and is currently assigned as an instructor pilot to the 459th Flying Training Squadron at Sheppard AFB, Texas. In a clear demonstration that flying is in her blood (her mother is a champion hang-glider pilot and her sister is a pilot with Lufthansa), Niki began flying at age three. In 2004, at age 19, she joined the German Air Force, attended both technical school (learning to speak English, as well as Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) and officer training. She graduated at the top of her Instructor Pilot Training class in 2011. She then spent 53 weeks of training at the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program at Sheppard AFB, where she ultimately earned her wings. At the end of the training cycle, Niki landed in the 322nd Squadron in Bavaria, flying Tornados with Capt. Ulrike Flender, Germany's first female fighter pilot. "The guys I fly with have never had an issue with me being female," she observes. "If you perform well and can fly, you are accepted. If you don't, you will have a hard time whether you are a woman or a man. I was always happy and proud to be a fighter pilot and never looked at much in the historical sense. Getting to fly the next generation of fighters in Europe would be my ideal, but just being able to fly as a profession is my bottom line. And now this opportunity to compete with AirRace21 is an exciting new challenge, but one that I'm familiar with; not only am I qualified in acrobatics and formation flying, but our squadron regularly flies missions down to 100 ft. above the ground at 500 knots. I can't wait to get to Reno." In addition to flying, Niki's activities include (she is training for a ), biking and hiking (she hiked up Mt. Kenya in 2010). She also plays the piano, guitar, paints and speaks four languages (German, English, French and Spanish). For video interview of Niki produced by the Sheppard AFB Public Affairs Office, click here. Rochelle "Lex" Kimbrell, Major, USAF, is the first African-American female fighter pilot in the Air Force. Initially focused on becoming an astronaut, she took her first flying lesson at age 14 and "… fell in love with the freedom." Born in Lafayette, Ind., on April 20, 1976, to Guyanese parents, who moved to the U.S. for education and opportunities. Their hard work and dedication paid off in her father earning a degree from Howard University and a doctorate from Perdue University. For Rochelle, the long road to the cockpit of a jet fighter led her to join the Civil Air Patrol and work at air shows while earning her private pilot’s license. Eventually, she was accepted into the Air Force Academy, despite people telling her all along the way there were no female fighter pilots. She graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1998, and after completing the intense training required to fly military fighter jets, received her pilot wings in August, 1999. There are more than 14,000 pilots in the U.S. Air Force -- about 3,700 of those are fighter pilots, but only about 70 are women. The turning point in her new career came when Rochelle received her operational assignment to Misawa Air Base, Japan in 2000; from there she flew her first combat sortie in Operation Northern Watch. The next big challenge came with the birth to her first son in August of 2006. For safety reasons, women pilots can no longer fly once they become pregnant. They are kept out of the cockpit for nine months, plus recovery time. She did, however, return to flying, and over the course of her career has flown the F-16, T-38, T-37 and T-3 and has logged more than 1,100 hours in the F-16, including 176 combat hours. "I am still amazed in this day and age there is still so much room for firsts especially for females and for African-Americans," says Rochelle. "While being a fighter pilot is exhilarating, I would not say that it defines me, I would say that is has refined me. I continue to learn and improve and it has really taught me to strive for perfection in everything that I do." Currently Rochelle instructs at the Air to Ground Operations School at Nellis AFB, she teaches pilots how to work with the Army in air-to-ground integration. While off duty, though, she speaks to children about dreaming big. Rochelle says she finds that a lot of children aren’t told that they can achieve their dreams and don’t realize that a lot of barriers have been knocked down. "I literally see the lights turn on in kids’ eyes when I talk to them when they realize that someone like me can go do something as cool as being a fighter pilot."

Raju Grace Mann, AirRace21 Team Co-Owner, has already been on one of the most amazing journeys imaginable. As an infant, she was left on the doorsteps of Mother Teresa’s Mission in Calcutta. Having never known her birth parents, she was adopted by Gret and Michael Mann; her grandfather was the German 1929 Nobel Prize laureate, Thomas Mann, who wrote "Death in Venice." To say that competition and rising up against the odds is in her blood would be an understatement. Now a successful businesswoman and co-owner of the AirRace21 jet racing team, Raju Mann is the very definition of 'success story.' She and her fiancé/race team partner Deane Barker met through a personals ad on Yahoo.com. "Deane and I were both recently divorced, and I'm thinking, 'let's do something different.' I found myself opening my eyes to new ventures… doing things I never thought I'd do. I wanted a fresh start and when Deane proposed jet racing I said "let's just do it…" Deane Barker, AirRace21 team President and co-owner is an ex-pro racer / car racer / entrepreneur / investor with a passion for competition. The son of a commercial airline pilot who was in both the Navy and the Army flying both fixed-wing planes and helicopters, Barker was raised with an extensive knowledge of aviation. His interest in Jet racing started when a friend who was already racing said the sport was "…about where NASCAR was in the 1970s." Sensing an opportunity, he and Raju threw themselves into the project, finding and buying a jet, getting it modified for racing, hiring the team's first pilot, Heather Penney and getting to the starting line of the 2010 Reno Air Races in just 7 months.

AirRace21 – THE RACE JET

Engine type: Rolls-Royce Mk 601-22 Engine thrust: 4,500 pounds Take-off weight: 6,200 pounds Maximum speed: 540 mph (Mach .75) Maximum altitude: 45,000 feet Climb 0-to-15,000 ft: 1.0 minutes The Aero L-29 Delfín that forms the basis for the Raju Grace racing jet is a military light attack that was widely used by the air forces of Warsaw Pact nations from the 1960s… and is still in use today. It was Czechoslovakia's first locally designed and built jet aircraft. The basic design concept was to produce a straight-forward, easy-to-build and operate aircraft. Simplicity and ruggedness were stressed with manual flight controls, large flaps and the incorporation of perforated airbrakes on the fuselage sides providing stable and docile flight characteristics, leading to an enviable safety record for the type. The sturdy L-29 was able to operate from grass, sand or unprepared fields. The plane that would become the Raju Grace was built by Aero Vodochody and, after many years of service with the Czech Republic Air Force, found its way to the U.S. in 2008 and was purchased from the Kendall Flight Corporation in Presto, Pennsylvania by the AirRace21 team.

AirRace21 – IN THE MEDIA The AirRace21 team has received substantial exposure in previous years with the team's first pilot, Heather Penney (a hero of the 9/11 attacks and daughter of a legendary Reno Air Race champion pilot) – and with the multi-spectrum media 'hook' of female ownership and female pilots (one of them African- American and one German), is poised to attract an even broader range of media in 2012. Currently, the team (with Heather Penney) is featured in the newly-released IMAX 3D movie "AirRacers 3D." Principal photography took place at the 47th annual Reno in 2010, and final photography was completed at the Reno-Stead Airport in early 2012. The official film website is www.AirRacers3D.com.

The Reno Air Races are both an air show and the last remaining air race in North America. Air racing is 'the world's fastest motor sport' and more than 200,000+ people attend Reno every year. The event features multi-lap, multi- aircraft races between extremely high performance aircraft on oval courses ranging between 3 for most types of planes and 8 miles for the jet class. Many of the pilots competing are astronauts, space shuttle commanders and military fighter pilots.

A 2010 report commissioned by the National Championship Air Races reports:  More than 200,000 fans attend the 5-day Reno Air Races event with an average annual income of $75,000  It is also one of the most diverse events with 70% of attendees traveling from across the country and around the world.  Total economic impact of the Air Races this year, as measured by dollars spent by visitors during their stay in the local area is estimated to be approximately $80 million.  30% of the attendees are pilots, 70% are male and many are past and present military service members.
