RECORD SETTING RENO AIR RACER ATTEMPTS TO SET TIME TO CLIMB WORLD RECORD
On February 28, 2012, record setting air race pilot Will Whiteside will attempt to set the Time to Climb Aviation World Record for fastest time from a standing start on the runway to 3,000 meters (approximately 10,000 feet).
With clear weather, the attempt will take place at Santa Rosa Airport (KSTS) in Northern California. Progress and development in aviation has been driven in the past by similar milestones. The current record of 3:33 was set in 1978 by Russell H. Hancock in a Piper Navajo Panther. The record has to be broken by 1% and could be a challenging task for Whiteside's Russian air race plane named "SteadFast", which falls into the same category as Hancock's did. Whiteside is a Veteran Reno Unlimited air racer who is known for racing a highly modified P-51 called "Voodoo" and in October, 2011 set a world record for the 3 Kilometer world aviation speed record at Wendover, Utah in his Russian Yakovlev 3.
