Reno National Championship Air Races

Don’t miss the final year of what has long been one of northern Nevada’s most beloved events. Along with its world-class air show and military demonstrations, this spectacle offers visitors access to a host of aircraft, pilots, and pit crews, and ample opportunity for shopping and concessions. But the races are the big attraction here, and there’s no better thrill than experiencing planes fly overhead at 500 mph.
