The famous Reno Air Races will end after this year’s event in September.
The shock news was announced by the organisers, the Reno Air Racing Association, today. It brings to an end 59 years of aircraft to aircraft racing round the pylons in the Nevada desert, based at Reno-Stead Airport.
The reason given is that the airport made the decision to “sunset the event” citing the region’s significant growth.
The Reno Air Racing Association will continue to discuss the future of the races but says it is “are forever grateful for the decades spent at the Reno-Stead Airport and their partnership with the Reno Tahoe Airport Authority.”
This year’s event, from 13-17 September, will see more than 150 planes and pilots as well as several ‘hands-on’ displays and experiences.
It will also see the third year for the STOL Drag which has been hugely popular.
Book your ticket now or forever miss the event.
