Gear Collapse Puts Nemesis NXT Out Of Running At Reno
An unfortunate incident earlier this week prior to the start of
the 41st National Championship Air Races and Air Show at Stead
Airport in Reno, Nevada, thwarted the highly anticipated appearance
of the Nemesis NXT. Owners Jon and Patricia Sharp had planned to
debut their new homebuilt airplane in the Sport Class. The original
Nemesis, which dominated Formula 1 racing for many years winning 47
of 51 starts, now hangs in the Smithsonian National Air and Space
Museum. That plane made its final flight at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
2000.
