Authorities have released the names of two California pilots who died in a collision during an air racing event in Reno.
“It wasn’t a racing accident. It was indeed a post-race landing accident,” Reno Air Racing Association CEO Fred Telling said. “We all are curious of how this came to pass.”
Rushing was the defending champion in the race. He was dedicated to promoting the history of the World War II-era AT-6 Texan trainer plane as head of a non-profit organization in Van Nuys, California, The Orange County Register reported.
