This was the last Reno Air Races held in Nevada. It was supposed to be a good bid farewell, but pilots Nick Macy and Chris Rushing died in a mid-air collision. This tragic occurrence prompted the event to end prematurely.

Accidents and death here are no different than auto racing, boat racing and many other sporting activities that are not even racing. They are part of the mix. Participation is not mandatory or forced.

They are coming to Roswell New Mexico in 2025! Its not over completely, but im sure it wont be the same as it once was in Reno. I live 90 minutes away and will be there, God willing. Anytime i get a rare and wonderful opportunity to see and hear the greatest generations' airborne creations come to life, I am in awe and appreciation of their ingenuity and skill. Those souls may no longer be with us physically, but their amazing legacy remains. KROW is actually an international airport that hosts a boneyard and a great fbo. Elvis Presley's private jet used to call KROW its home and i was given a tour. I have landed there a few times and have been met with nothing but hospitality and kindness. I have sheltered there until storms cleared my home field a few times and can tell you that the big beautiful v shaped runway has been a welcome sight to a storm weary pilot flying on fumes. God bless those whom have lost their lives this year and those years before. I cannot wait to see how this plays out here in New Mexico. I have an RV hookup here in Portales that will be free to anyone attending the race that is interested (During the posted race schedule only.)

Roswell, New Mexico! 👍😁Yes, I know about it too. I got their email. I can only imagine how much more famous Roswell will get, you know, with their UFOs. You're lucky you live close to it. I will have to fly over there and rent a car. More expensive for me. I got used to just driving from CA to Reno, NV and spending time in Lake Tahoe along the way. Anyways, glad the air races is still alive even though it's an inherently dangerous sport for both pilots and spectators.

It's normal to feel sympathy to the lost lives and their families... But we can't just shut down life because tragic events happen from time to time. Life can be dangerous, you learn to accept and deal with it. You don't rubber room life. You learn from tragedies and try to limit it happening again. Humans are imperfect, you, we all do the things to try to mitigate potential tragedy, but we also live life. The pilots here all chose and choose to do this racing, they accept the possibility of a crash, why stop them in future from continuing to freely do such racing if they want to do it? We can't govern our lives on pure emotions. We use commonsense and take acceptable risks in life.🤔

All WW2 aircraft should have airworthiness revoked and they should be repainted and put into museums where belong. for future flight many years from now so that future generations that no longer understand will be able to appreciate these great machines down the road.

I cautiously agree with this view, sad as I am to say it. While planes were made to fly, every year there are a few less P-51s (for example) left flying. Someday they will all be in museums anyway. The Texas crash was the tell. I am glad that pile of wreckage did not go down in someone's neighborhood.
