Another Red Flag Day at Reno!

#1 Post by TheGreenAnger » Mon Sep 19, 2022 5:57 pm

Happened yesterday... Sad to see!
A dusty series of races for 2022 ended abruptly this afternoon. Reno Air Racing Association’s (RARA) Stihl National Championship Air Races saw tragedy in the Jet Gold race today, with pilot Aaron Hogue flying into the dirt in his L-29, Ballista.

Pilots on scene posted onto social media immediately following the accident, which took place near Pylon 5 on the course. All other jets in the heat have returned to base safely.

My necessaries are embark'd: farewell. Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.
