The USAF F-16 Viper demonstration team is scheduled to perform during an airshow in Reno, Nevada, next September.
The National Air Races may have left Reno Stead Airport, but that doesn’t mean the skies will be entirely quiet next fall. An announcement on the Reno Air Racing Association Facebook page trumpets a "BIG SHOW" to run Oct. 4-6, 2024, at the airport. Though pylon racing will not be part of the menu, the event will “celebrate 60 years of aviation excitement at Reno,” according to the announcement. The Reno Air Racing Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has hosted the National Championship Air Races, which are currently exploring options on where to conduct the next air races—scheduled to resume in 2025 after a hiatus following the decision to discontinue the event at Reno.
Performers for the 2023 show are set to include the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration team, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper Demo Team. The association says to stay tuned for more details on the upcoming show, including ticket sales information.
