The Air Races held every September at Stead Airport north of Reno Nevada, featuring six classes of aircraft racing in heats of six or seven planes around a roughly oval course.
The event also includes military and civil aircraft demos and fly-bys, aerobatic performances, a large static aircraft display, and a variety of food, beverages, and aviation-related products from hundreds of vendors.
Attendance typically reaches about 200,000 visits during the four-and-a-half days of racing.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds, have been regular visitors to the Reno Air Races. Officially known as 431 Squadron, the Snowbirds fly the Canadair CT-114 Tutor, a Canada-built jet used by the Canadian Forces as its basic pilot training aircraft until 2000. Their tight formations of up to nine aircraft and smooth maneuvers make them favorites with air show fans.
