I saw that. I use to go to the Reno air races almost every year up until 2001. In 2001 9/11 interfered with it and since then the GMCMI conventions always seem to interfere with the Reno Air races. I have been by Reno Steed airport several times since then but never during race week.
I was there the year a wing came off of the Lenertz airplane and he ended up in a subdivision.
It's sad to see that people were killed. I'm wondering what happened.

This is a tragedy. Some of you may not know that Bill Hubler (Hubler front
end conversion) lost his son Gary, a 3 time champion F1 pilot at the air
races in Reno several years ago. Just an extremely dangerous sport.
