End of an era Reno Air Races - 727Sky - 04-25-2023

It cost a fortune to field an aircraft for the races at Reno and I am not even talking about a war bird but a small formula 1 air racer. With the price of aviation fuel and insurance I am surprised they have managed to keep the races going as long as they have... Most of my friends have sold their aircraft and are glad they did as fuel, insurance, hanger fees and liability takes all the fun out of general aviation even if you are not poor !
