Relive the Action of the the STIHL National Championship Air Races

Named the #1 Air Show in America in 2017, the National Championship Air Races usually roars into the Reno Stead Airport every September. Undeniably iconic to Reno Tahoe, it’s the world’s only closed-course racing event and attracts fans from around the globe. This year, the event will not be held with audiences in the stands, but you can relive the heart-pounding excitement of past races from the comfort of your home with a replay of past races on Facebook.

The National Championship Air Races is the last event of its kind, carrying on the tradition of the Cleveland Air Races of the 1920s, 30s and 40s. For one week, the high desert north of Reno becomes home to hundreds of aircraft, their pilots and crews. Over the past ten years, the event has attracted more than 1 million spectators.
