Two T-6s involved in a mid-air collision. A sad way to end air racing at Reno.

Reno

RARA has released the pilots names. One report says one airplane overtook the other on final. One airplane came down on airport property, the other just outside the airport.
Sad ending to a aviation legacy

So sad

First and second place finishers, both extremely experienced, veterans of Reno.
