  • Rookie

    Birgitta is always interested in female Race pilots, and I'm always interested in new Race pilots and how they react to and cope with the pressures of Reno.

    Colleen Keller (in the red and white #52 Legacy) looked great out there -- flew a steady and solid line, and was quite willing to mix it up in traffic. She was a pleasure to watch and to photograph...

    Nice! I'm a big fan of "competition" photos - 2 or more racers in the same photo.

    I've heard very little about Colleen - does any one know her background, etc.?

      IF it's the Colleen I think, she is an aerobatic pilot out of San Diego, has a cool Skybolt and I believe a Cardinal. She is really good people and a good stick to boot. I am trying to verify right now that it is the same Colleen Keller I know.

      Hope to see her compete at the Borrego AkroFest in a couple weeks.

        Birgitta would know more, but I think Colleen works for the Navy as some sort of systems analyst. She flies a Cessna Cardinal, and her husband flies a Cub. Most importantly, though, some owner out there trusts her to race his beloved Legacy...

          Yup, that looks like her, I need to check in with her and see how it went. Surprised I didn't hear she was going to PRS earlier this year.

          She is really good people.

                    That camera mount looks like a rifle rack in a cop car!
