I would go 10 stars if I could! What a unique event, for someone looking for a different unique sport check this out. We where there for the Friday, Saturday, and the Sunday and we were never bored and always where doing things. We got tickets for the Checkered Flag Club and the extra money was well worth it. Great breakfast and lunch where included in those tickets and a open bar. Private bleachers with a great view. Thanks to all the people that put this event on and the Checkered Flag Club, we will be back!

Incredible! Only place in the world where you can see planes racing around the course wing tip to wing tip at speeds into the 500 mph range! Several differ groups like sport, formula1, and everyone's favorites, the unlimiteds. Even if you are not that into planes, you are sure to find this both interesting and exciting

I flown to the races for the last 7 years and it's a great time everytime. The crowds seem to be getting thinner and the event organizers have dropped most of the perks for the racers. There were racers there that weren't racing because the event organizers have made it too difficult and expensive now. It's sad...I hope the event survives...it's one of the only air races left in North America.

The level of commitment and enthusiasm that each team has is unreal. It was so great to meet with the pilots and the crew. The amount of aviation history that they've been able to maintain is extremely commendable, given the number of war birds at the event. It was an amazing way to spend my time for a few days and I recommend it to anyone who is even remotely interested in flight.

Should call it the Reno Air Show. Been going since 1987. Nowhere near what it used to be. If you're expecting the thrill of the old war birds racing, you will be greatly disappointed.

We just happened to be in Reno and found the air races were going on. The event was very well organized and people were great. On a negative side is the local police use the event as a fund raiser. Time to move the event out of Nevada. They already have gambling, prostitution and marijuana to fund government and the don t have to hand out trumped up tickets on top of it. Kiss my ass Officer Roy Bean or who ever you think you are.

Excellent experience. I recommend to anyone looking for something new. We always have a good time. The events are fun and the static displays educational. From drones to huge transport aircraft. The pits are special, race planes and war birds. In the pits you can get up close and personal.

Being a part of the air races since their conception in 1964, my father, Elwyn Freemonth one of the handful of men who started the races, I've seen it grow and evolve into this wonderful competition of men and their flying machines. The open pits, military display and all the new categories of racing continues to keep me interested 4/50 years

Terrific group of racers, fast paced events, great visibility, just a fantastic event! I come every year and there are always new planes/racers to join our old friends who fly every year. Many planes from around the globe competing.
