Flying In

Every inch of the Reno-Stead Airport is occupied by participants and vendors during the week of the National Championship Air Races. All non-participating aircraft should choose Reno-Tahoe Airport, Carson City Airport, Truckee Airport, or other Northern Nevada/California airports as their destination. Those landing at Reno-Tahoe Airport can take a short cab ride to The Row downtown and catch the shuttle bus from there. If you plan to drive to the Races, use Route 395 North from the Reno/Sparks area.
