The 2001 Marathon
The 2001 USAF Marathon was originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, September 22. To commemorate our rich history in flight, each year one aircraft is chosen to be highlighted during the marathon and on the unique finisher's medal presented to each race participant. In 2001, the USAF Marathon was to feature the B-1B Lancer multi-mission, long-range bomber plane.
The race was cancelled in remembrance of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
