Reno Air Races final year...

2023 will be the last Air Races held at Reno due, it seems, to too much development locally... Organisers seeking a new venue. I wonder if last year's accident proved the final nail...

I guess we could see the end of unlimited warbird racing, which I'm sure many people will cheer - as much as I'd rather see these things flown a little more sedately, yet there is something magic about hearing and seeing them blasting round the pylons. The best years are undoubtedly several decades in the past in my opinion...
