Some of you may be interested in this as a follow up to the Reno crash that killed 11 people last year: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-01- 10/air-show-safety/52479000/1 | ||

There will always be collateral damage for racing. It is a sport. The next step in air racing will be televised races. That will take all the fun out of it. Kind of like watching off shore boat racing..  | ||

Years ago they were. It's better than nothing if you can't be there. The Red Bull air races are the only ones I've seen televised as of late. | ||

From what i've heard around here(Carson City,NV),everyone thats been affected by all of it still want the event to go on.It would be a big blow to the racing community,airplane enthusiasts and those involved if it was ended.They have been talking/discussing of the air show/air races differentiation of maybe just an air show as opposed to air races.That would alter the "venue".They have all the rules/guidelines in place.Its just that what happened was one of those variables that can come up...it was "a part" of what could/can/did happen....most involved,being the people that officiate,put on, and participate in this type of event "know" that is a possibility,yet they come to this venue because they have a driving passion and love for it as do so many spectators.They all want this to continue even after what took place.Lt |
