The National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence (NAAMCE) at Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport (KSGH) in Ohio will host the first annual Pulitzer Electric Aircraft Race in October. Organized by the Advanced Air Mobility Institute (AAMI), the race is intended to revive the 100-year-old tradition of the Pulitzer air speed races held in the 1920s, while providing a public platform for innovation in aviation.

Selection of the Springfield site took place through a competition that also included Salinas and Stockton in California. “NAAMCE is a world-class facility with a thriving ecosystem of innovation and will prove to be the perfect inaugural host,” said Dan Sloat, founder of the AAMI and executive producer of the Pulitzer Electric Aircraft Race. “The race will celebrate the dawn of electric aviation, pay homage to our aviation pioneers, and drive positive public awareness.”
