 Well folks it has been awhile since I wrote anything about the Reno National Championship Air Racing.  If you haven't heard this, it will be the last year the races will be held out at Stead Airport.  This will end  six decades of racing in Reno NV.  There is a rich history there with iconic races that were exciting and fun to observe.  The Association is working hard to find a new venue to move the races to.  As you can imagine this will be extremely difficult task taking into account all the logistics and infrastructure needed to host this event.  So what's really important is don't get discouraged that the races are done.  It may take some time to work through all the issues at hand but they feel they can accomplish this.  This year the ticketing will be hit hard so get your tickets now.  As before in my posts there are six classes, Formula 1, Biplanes, T-6's, Sport, Jet, and Unlimited.  All are fun to watch.  Below are some pictures I have taken over the years.  Some will ask who is showing up, that is always a surprise.  So come and enjoy the event as it will be a very integral part of aviation history.
