Air Races

Mixed in with the hot-dog stands, souvenir T-shirt tents and barbecue pits is a different kind of booth this year behind the grandstand at the 49th annual National Championship Air Races in Reno.

After a year of uncertainty, planes will once again return to the skies tomorrow in the TravelNevada.com Reno Air Races.

Next week, the TravelNevada.com Reno National Championship Air Races will return to northern Nevada for the 49th annual event.

A longtime critic of safety procedures at Reno's National Championship Air Races is suing organizers to try to strike down their ban on his access to the competition where 11 people were killed in a crash near the grandstand a year ago.

Today, the Reno Air Racing Association will be asking the Reno City Council to pick up the tab for city services for this year's event.
