We so appreciate the skills and knowledge that our Longmont Airport Community pilots have and wanted to share this about one of them who we learned will be heading to race at the National Championship Air Races soon.

"Matt Menza, known by the callsign Cube, is preparing to race his L-39C Albatros jet, The Patriot, at the National Championship Air Races in Roswell, New Mexico. A retired Navy pilot and test pilot, Matt has spent a lifetime flying some of the fastest and most demanding aircraft in the world. After 20 years of service, 397 carrier landings, four combat deployments, and more than 8,000 flight hours in over 60 aircraft types, Matt is now chasing a dream that his military and airline career never gave him the chance to finish: racing his own jet. As a rookie in the Jet Class, Matt will be competing in the fastest motorsport racing event in the world, bringing race #21, The Patriot, to the starting line with the same skill, discipline, and determination that have defined his life in aviation."

And more about his air race journey from his wife Tara and about his sponsors: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D35DRqamo/

Both Matt & Tara have also volunteered their time advocating for the airport as previous members of the Airport Advisory Board. 👏
Good luck to the Menza family! 🛫🏁
