Drama at Reno Air-Racing Seminar

摘要

Ashocking announce- ment was made during the week of the Reno Air Race Association's Pylon Racing Seminar in June. The Unlimited Class would be no more. The Unlimited Division Board found the FAA-imposed 250-foot altitude restriction and other course changes, designed to protect the crowd from debris in the event of a crash, to be unsafe with regard to clearances and G-load margins. Matt Jackson, vice president of the Unlimited Division, said in a statement, "It has always been the opinion of the Unlimited Class that if you keep the pilots safe, the crowd will also be safe."
