Two pilots were killed Sunday after their planes collided while landing at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada, the race organizers confirmed.
The Reno Air Racing Association (RARA) said the accident occurred Sunday afternoon at the end of the T-6 Gold race. The pilots of each plane, later identified as Nick Macy and Chris Rushing, were killed, the association said Sunday night in a Facebook post.
RARA said there were no civilian causalities and the remainder of the races have been canceled.
“Both expertly skilled pilots and Gold winners in the T-6 Class, Macy piloted Six-Cat and Rushing flew Baron’s Revenge,” the association wrote on social media.
