Shame on those who are holding this race again without dealing first with the people killed and hurt, and their families!!
And I happen to know someone who, last year, mourned over the Reno Air Race not because of the calamity and the 11 dead people and 64 injured, some devastatingly, but because he thought it would spoil his fun this year. Your typical flyboy, at his graceless and selfish worst. I got to hear about Jimmy Leeward and his glories...though now that he's been shown to be the deliberate cause of all the carnage suddenly he never existed.
No coming to terms, no facing the music.
I didn't think after the disaster that it would dare run again, not after the officials showed themselves to be such reckless fools, but here we are.
And you know this how?
One of the victims is coming back this year...I'll say "Hi" to him for you. He is a double amputee.
I'll provide a post race update.
