Final Reno Air Races ended with two pilots colliding after the race was over and on approach for landing. Both pilots reported deceased. Pretty sad way to end this being the last year. They cancelled the rest of the day after this happened.

Bummer. I went Friday as it was a bucket list item and I just moved an hour away. It's a remarkable event. It will be interesting to see where they end up next year for year 60 - if they do.

My parents were there Wednesday. Talked to my dad a couple hours ago. He didn’t know about it.
Shitty way to end the last time in Reno.

Juan Browne just posted a video a few a go to his patreon supporters...the planes went down just of the AirRace Assn. property, no one injured on the ground...A terrible shame...godspeed to the pilots of the two AT-6's.

Bad Deal! I wasn't paying attention to the calendar, honestly had wanted to go see since I knew months ago it was to be the last year, and watched on TV as I was growing up years ago.
