These races have been having a few each year lately, sad to say. Flying is fun, there is no reason to get yourself killed doing it.

That can’t yet be confirmed or denied yet.
The details were revealed in a private forum. Unfortunately, they can’t be revealed publicly until they are officially reported.

Did not hear any F1 stuff up this morning. Only big radial early - before 7. Saw Dago Red a few minutes ago. Rumor was they were not going to fly this year.

RENO, Nev.A pilot has been killed in a crash during a practice run before the start of the annual Reno National Championship Air Races.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the female pilot was killed Saturday morning at Reno Stead Airport when the wings of her homebuilt, single-engine plane broke off as she was performing a roll.

Just got back from the top of the hill with Mad Dog. Cannot see anything on the West side talked to a friend who saw the incident. He said that it surprised him. The plane was rolling but not all that hard. He would not call it a snap roll and the wings just came off. Local radio says it was experimental - not unusual here during race season. All is quiet at the moment nothing even in the air. Weather about the time of the crash 70f and no wind. Clear as a bell.
