Reno Air Races

[DrRocket]

As much as I love drag racing, I love aviation even more.

They had a horrible crash at the Reno Air Races today. Jimmy Leeward, a longtime and well known racer crashed his P-51, The Galloping Ghost, into the edge of the main grandstands today, killing and injuring many.

RIP to all involved.

chips from forward mounted camera; possible retrievable data.
