Exclusive video of the Reno National Championship Air Races
This aerobatic extravaganza is the first in a series af world-acclaimed aviation videos featuring the National Championship Reno Air Races. You'll see petite JoAnn Nottke Perform closeup in her Stevens Acro. Corky Fortnoff blows away the field in a stunning performance at the controls of a BD-5 jet. The Christen Eagles take to the skies in their rainbow-colored biplanes in a wonderful display of grace and aerobatic skill.

You'll also see Art Scholl in the Super Chipmunk and Bob Hoover in the yellow P-51 Mustang. If you love jet action, you'll love the aerial display put forth by the Blue Angels in their A4F Skyhawk line attack jets - followed closely by the grace and style of the fabulous Canadian Snowbirds in their nine-abreast Canadian Tudor Trainer jets.
