Reno Air Races Seek Continuing Financial Support

2020 Was NOT Kind To The Reno Air Race Organization

The future of the Reno Air races remains somewhat questionable as they struggle to deal with the damage caused by a serious accident some years ago, coupled with the most recent year's battle with Covid-19. The Reno folks have been up-front about all this... "For more than 56 years, the National Championship Air Races has carried on a proud legacy. Now, that legacy is in jeopardy due to financial hardship from the COVID-19 pandemic. We are asking for help by launching a fund raising campaign to 'Save The Races' with the goal of raising $500,000 by the end of this year."

Considering A Mid-September 2020 Date

The 2020 Truckee Tahoe Air Show & Family Festival scheduled for Saturday, July 11 is being postponed. The Air Show Committee is considering a mid-September 2020 date, and a decision will be made by no later than the end of June. The Air Show Committee along with Airport executives are closely following COVID-19 updates and regulations/orders from local, State and Federal leaders in addition to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). If the Air Show is rescheduled for September, COVID-19 health and safety regulations and mitigations mandated by local, State, and Federal officials will be adopted and followed.
