40 -ish years of going to airshows and always loved the Mustangs, Corsairs...oh, what music! I then I went to the Reno air Races... Oh my gosh! That an engine can work that hard....not just purring around the airfield but just Screaming! First pass by the crowd and I was emotional...maybe crying. I'd never heard an airplane run like that! Goodbye Reno :-/

Not only three of the best and fastest propeller driven planes ! But to me absolutely beautiful ! Still can remember the Sea Fury’s flying off HMAS Melbourne exhilarating ! FNQ AU

Terrific sound of those mighty engines! and the planes so close during the race, stunning!

Wow, great work! The buildup with wind noise and shots heightening the anticipation. Really nice job.

Even though this was 6 years ago, I remember it like yesterday!!

Thank you for making and uploading this. We Air Racing Fans should hold pictures and sounds like this precious because sadly the times these planes racing each other are over and won't come back.

I was lucky to go twice back around 2010. It was the coolest thing ever. I hope the races get relocated. I want to take my kids one day.

Deer season always conflicted with Reno and some of my friends raced there, but I finally made it! Best part was I got to pull my trailer into the pits! I took my whole family and had a blast for a week. I felt like I had to decompress after living in airplanes racing for 6 days. My kids normally wouldn’t be interested but they got hooked. We camped next to Thunder Mustang hanger at a friends hanger. I’m so glade I made it!

Superb. Loved seeing them climb at the end and bath the engines in cool blue air. The manifold pressure easing back. And the magical image of Strega high up ghostly with the woman's voice. This was a great year at Reno.
