Bose Announces Air Race Classic Sponsorship

The Leader in Headset Technology Announces Three-year Sponsorship to the Air Race Classic

Oklahoma City, OK -- The Air Race Classic (ARC) is proud to announce a very special three-year sponsorship with Bose(R) Aviation, the leader in headset technology. For Air Race Classic years 2014, 2015, and 2016, Bose will award the Top Champion and Reserve Champion Teams Bose(R) A20(R) Aviation headsets. Recognizing the need for racers to have the best of quiet, clarity, and comfort, Bose has become an ARC Sponsor for years to come.

Bose(R) is proudly sponsoring the oldest, annual, all-female cross country air race in the United States, and are the official headset providers to the racers of the Air Race Classic (ARC). The ARC is launching its ten-stop race from June 16th - 19th, 2014, starting from Concord, CA and ending in New Cumberland, PA.

"The ARC is an organization and tradition that aptly demonstrates the important role that so many bright, self-confident and capable women have played, and continue to play, in aviation," said Marolyn Wilson, ARC President. "Recognizing this fact is important, as is continuing the tradition by encouraging and educating current and future pilots. Bose(R) is not only supportive of the ARC tradition, they are passionate about supporting ARC through their multi-year commitment."

Better sound can make all the difference, especially when you're flying a race such as the oldest cross country air race in the country. Four days of flying sunrise to sunset are not only stressful but cause extreme fatigue when piloting with a heavy headset that may not have audio clarity. Bose(R) headsets offer 30% greater noise reduction than conventional noise reducing aviation headsets, while proprietary cushions and minimal clamping force let you fly comfortably for hours.

"The Air Race Classic is an organization and tradition that aptly demonstrates the important role that so many bright, self-confident and capable women have played, and continue to play, in aviation," said Hratch Astarjian, Manager, Bose(R) Global Aviation Sales & Service. "Recognizing this fact is important, as is continuing the tradition by encouraging and educating current and future pilots. As a member of the aviation community, this is something Bose not only supports, but enthusiastically celebrates."
