During the National Championship Air Races scheduled to take place between the dates of September 13-17, 2023, Nick Macy and Chris Rushin were pronounced dead in a fatal crash. The pilots of both planes were killed when they crashed with each other while landing their respective aircraft. Before providing assistance to the families and releasing the names of the victims, the authorities are making an effort to get in touch with their next of kin.
There were no reports of any injuries among the citizens or spectators that were present. At this moment, there will be no further events or activities taking place that are connected to air racing. The Reno Air Races, also known as the National Championship Air Races, are held every year at the Reno Stead Airport, which is located just a few miles north of Reno, Nevada.
These races take place in the month of September. Reno is one of the few sites left where you can watch what is sometimes referred to as “the world’s fastest motor sport,” but there are still a few others. There will be race competitions and airshow demonstrations for a total of six distinct classes. At the Reno Air Races, the Unlimited Class Gold Race is held on Sunday afternoon, following two and a half days of qualifying and four and a half days of multi-aircraft heat racing.
A civil airshow, military flying demonstrations, a large static exhibit of civil and military aircraft, and a marketplace full of exhibitors are all available for spectators to enjoy in addition to the races itself. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 57th annual race, which was scheduled to take place in 2020, has been moved to 2021.
After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the remainder of the gathering in 2001 was canceled. The Reno air races that take place in 2023 will be the last ones ever held. The Reno Air Racing Association has started looking for a new location all across the country in order to continue holding races there. The next races on the calendar are not until the year 2025.
