Reno!

When we were in Lake Tahoe we found out that the famous air races were happening in Reno. We decided to go.

Reno was really hot and in the dessert.  We went to a huge air field where there were lots of planes of all types.

 

We also saw lots of military aircraft including fighter jets and huge planes. my dad loved this beacause he used to be in the army and used to travel in the big aircraft and jump out of them!

The races started and it was really exciting! About five or six planes would take off one after the other and then circle back in to the racecourse. The course is about 8 miles long and they go around the course three times. It was so cool to watch airplanes racing!

At the end of the day we got to see the breitling aerobatic team put on a display. It was amazing!
