- It's Saturday at Reno and the crowds are here. Some nostalgic laps are made by the restored 1940s P-51 racer Thunderbird, as well as Clay Lacy's famous purple Mustang, flown by Vicky Benzing. Bob Hoover's instantly recognizable yellow P-51 pace and aerobatic plane went aloft for a missing man formation.
We endeavor to give you different vantage points during the days of the races, to immerse yourself in the action. So if you couldn't make it to Reno for the final air races there, sit back and enjoy the action with us.
We captured a T-6 Texan drag race in which only two aircraft take off side by side and fly one lap around the course to determine the winner. The race officially starts as the aircraft pass the home pylon on takeoff, and ends one lap later.
And we caught several categories of traditional races as well. In the afternoon as cloud cover moved overhead, the last event was Unlimited Heat 3A was taken by Steven Hinton in the all-white Bardahl Special P-51D Mustang at a speed of 405.292, while his competition all posted speeds under 400.
The following day, experienced T-6 racing pilots Nick Macy and Chris Rushing died in a collision following the T-6 Gold Race. We express our condolences to their families and friends.

I was there.
Drove 3000 miles from Vt.
Slept in the car in the parking lot.
30 years ago, when i was a kid, i promised myself i would see it. Ran out of Someday, so i did what it took to make it happen.
2000% worth it.
Pretty Polly (race 63) was simply gorgeous. That Allison sounded like silk.
I just rode a motorcycle 2,200 miles to see the Indy 500, doing the same for Roswell in Sept 2025
Best quality Reno video I have ever seen
Thank you very much for your gracious comment.
Beautiful filming! A stunning tribute to the pilots lost. God's peace and comfort for the families of Nick and Chris. Thanks for providing this video. Boy how I love that Razorback P-51. The P-51B has been my favorite since I was a little boy.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
popsP51 the razor back was actually a P51C..........
Thanks! I wish that I could have been there!
You are very welcome!
It was fun but the food was slacking this year I was fortunate enough to be able to sit on the tarmac and it was so hot
I can't imagine the grief of the families and friends of Nick Macy and Chris Rushing, may they find comfort in the days ahead. All the video is great quality and sound. The FA-18 and T-33 are great, who doesn't like Mustangs?. Thanks as always.
Yes, I can only try to contemplate what their families and friends are going through.
Great video as always Mr Johnsen! God bless and comfort the families of those that were lost doing what they loved. As always God bless you and your family and thanks for everything you do! God bless the USA!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you Martin. I am so fortunate to be able to make videos at events like this, and I'm glad you enjoy them.
@airailimages you are most welcome Sir!
Dusty Crophopper could race
What's really sad is the Airport Authority (RENO) has given in to the the special interest groups and RENO AIR RACING is no more. Yet they can still do Air Show's. I hope RENO enjoys the $100 Million dollar PLUS loss of revenue that is taken in during the race week ! The next hurdle will be finding a new venue and keeping RARA out of it. Was reported a race team had to pay $200.00 dollars to operate the team golf cart inside the gate. RARA has gone WAY outside the scope of their design years ago !!! GREED! My family has been a part of RENO AIR RACING since the Days of PRPA 53 years both as spectators and race teams . We will be back & better than ever !
who cares
