If you've attended the Reno Air Races, AKA National Championship Air Races, you know what it's like. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. :)

The writer herself is a regular annual competitor in the biplane class.

I used to work at a fixed base operation in Reno. During the air races it was great because you got to see so many vintage planes up close. I got to fuel up P-51’s, P-38’s, B-25, B-17’s. Very cool. Crowded, but cool.

Watching the WW2 planes take off was the greatest. I still say the P-51 is the most beautiful fighter plane ever built (from WW2 era, that is).

How in the world can this be put on after last year? I’m amazed. The lawsuits must have been ruinous, and there were people injured as well as killed.

I wish I could afford to go, four years ago I could, now I cannot.If it wasn’t for a thread like this I would have forgotten completely, hopefully there will be many pics and comments from those who did go.

last time I went I had a pit pass, thats the way to go.
