It has been a long time since I last attended an air show of any kind. I used to annually attend the Point Mugu Air Show in California.  

Maybe now, I can attend the Reno Air Races now that they are moving to Roswell, New Mexico.

From Fox 40:

(FOX40.COM) — The Reno Air Racing Association (RARA) officially announced that Roswell, New Mexico will be the home of the National Championship Air Races (NCAR), according to a news release from the association on Thursday.

Since 2023, RARA has been considering six cities including; Buckeye, Arizona, Thermal, California, Wendover, Utah, Casper, Wyoming, Pueblo, Colorado, and Roswell, New Mexico to relocate the NCAR.

“We’re thrilled to bring our honored tradition of racing to Roswell and are confident that they have both the enthusiasm and resources to expand the future of our races for many generations to come,” said Fred Telling, CEO and chairman of the board for the Reno Air Racing Association.

Now Roswell will be known for something else besides flying saucers.
