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

[@nattybumpo7156]

​@@bruces3613 See you in Roswell. I am hooked.

[@airailimages]

Planning on being there too!

[@DumbledoreMcCracken]

Best quality Reno video I have ever seen

[@airailimages]

Thank you very much for your gracious comment.

[@Scout4x]

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

[@user-lu1xp4ze8w]

I miss the 80s and 90s, great video!

[@airailimages]

Thanks!

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.

[@airailimages]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting.

popsP51 the razor back was actually a P51C..........

The Sea Fury’s remind me of the 2017 Sunday Unlimited Race. Two planes, fighting it out for a great reward. Even Bardahl was a flashback because of its white color scheme, reminds me of Voodoo, whose engine was in Bardahl, and Steve Jr. flying it himself. Yes the events the day after this day and the year prior were extremely graphic, horrifying and unexpected, it never stopped me from loving one of my favorite things in the world. The World of Air Racing. Cheers from a young 15 Year old.

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!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@airailimages]

Thank you Martin. I am so fortunate to be able to make videos at events like this, and I'm glad you enjoy them.

[@martinpennock9430]

@airailimages you are most welcome Sir!

[@joeschenk8400]

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.

[@airailimages]

Yes, I can only try to contemplate what their families and friends are going through.

[@Thekennel177]

Now on to Roswell where the races will fold in two seasons.

[@MattelTomy]

Dusty Crophopper could race

無くなっちゃうのか

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 !
