- From the legendary "Valley of Speed" at the Reno National Championship Air Races, comes the fasted piston Warbirds on the planet! Strega, Voodoo, Rare Bear, Dreadnought, Sawbones and Argonaut battle it out on the pylons at speeds up to 487 miles per hour in the Unlimited class heat race 3A, Saturday, September 19, 2015.
Not only three of the best and fastest propeller driven planes ! But to me absolutely beautiful ! Still can remember the Sea Fury’s flying off HMAS Melbourne exhilarating ! FNQ AU
40 -ish years of going to airshows and always loved the Mustangs, Corsairs...oh, what music! I then I went to the Reno air Races... Oh my gosh! That an engine can work that hard....not just purring around the airfield but just Screaming! First pass by the crowd and I was emotional...maybe crying. I'd never heard an airplane run like that! Goodbye Reno :-/
Terrific sound of those mighty engines! and the planes so close during the race, stunning!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, great work! The buildup with wind noise and shots heightening the anticipation. Really nice job.
Thanks for noticing the little details Tom. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@WarbirdVideos New subscriber too, think I'm going to enjoy your stuff.
@@Tglass Thanks for subscribing Tom! Question. When you subscribed, did you also select the "bell' to the right of the subscribe button? It now defaults to personalized' which means you won't be notified about new videos. It should be set to 'all' to receive video notifications. I just found out about this a couple of weeks ago. I wondered why I wasn't receiving notifications from channels that I subscribed to.
@@WarbirdVideos No, but thanks for the heads up. I don't typically use that feature on any of the aviation channels I subscribe to. I did also enjoy your post of the B-25, reminded me of spending a hot Sept morning last year in Tom Reilly's B-25 Killer B flying around the Space Coast area of Florida for a few hours on check rides. Great Stuff!
@@Tglass Thanks for checking on that setting Tom. I have 5700 subscribers, but they aren't being notified when I post a new video and I have no way of contacting them about this TH-cam change... The B-25 has been my favorite bomber since I saw "Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" as a kid (I was probably building a model while watching it). That was a great opportunity you had for sure!
Even though this was 6 years ago, I remember it like yesterday!!
Deer season always conflicted with Reno and some of my friends raced there, but I finally made it! Best part was I got to pull my trailer into the pits! I took my whole family and had a blast for a week. I felt like I had to decompress after living in airplanes racing for 6 days. My kids normally wouldn’t be interested but they got hooked. We camped next to Thunder Mustang hanger at a friends hanger. I’m so glade I made it!
I've got goosebumps on my goosebumps .....
Superb. Loved seeing them climb at the end and bath the engines in cool blue air. The manifold pressure easing back. And the magical image of Strega high up ghostly with the woman's voice. This was a great year at Reno.
Why should they loose manifold pressure at a couple of hundred meters above sea level? What is this, Briggs&Stratton turkey shooting?
@@bumblebob5979 They loose manifold pressure because they're climbing thousands of feet into thinner air. Where'd you get get a couple hundred meters?
@@bumblebob5979 You don't suddenly bring the power back as you cross the finish line. That may lead to a loss of expensive hard to find parts. The engine reduces power slowly as the air thins. Cooling aswell before the power reduction.
@@stewartgrant9832 600m=2000ft. Thousands of fts... (5000ft=1500m) Still shouldt lose notisable pressure. They where originally made to excel at 25000ft and above. You ever run anything else than B&S engines? Although the Merlin engine was infamous for its short lifespan of 20-40 running hours before worn out. Typical yankee quality.
@@bumblebob5979 Reno Stead 5050ft amsl. Climbing 4000ft alone gives you a drop in pressure of 13%. They are on oxygen going higher.
Thank you for making and uploading this. We Air Racing Fans should hold pictures and sounds like this precious because sadly the times these planes racing each other are over and won't come back.
They just retired voodoo and Strega
@@blakemcreynolds1456 232 is sold and will be rebuild to stock probably, Rare Bear won't fly without competitors as well as Strega, Chechmate is not showing up for years and Precious Metals condition is not known to me but the last update was 2016 so i guess it's not very well.
These Birds are getting rare and with every crash even rarer. A Mustang in good condition is now priced around 2-4 Million $ and growing, there's no point in risking them at racing..
As sad as it is but the times of unlimited air racing are over, even if they race they don't really push it anymore. It will be no more than a show flyby in the future.
And everyone who wants the title signs up to fly Dreadnought. Easy win...
@@jorgsobota2228 dreadnought will win every year easily
We always go to the Reno air races
Lyle Strader, you've done a fantastic job with strega. Congratulations
This video deserves a million views.. Well done one..
Thanks! (can you watch it a million times for me??)
Reno Air Races
Known as NASCAR IN THE SKY
what is an IL14 doing in the middle of Nevada?
Just chillin' ...
What a great race! Voodoo sure was cooking, but, he still couldn't beat Strega!
The audio in this video is phenomenal.
Thank you for posting.
With this years season being the last at Reno this will be great archive footage.
Thanks! There's more as well. I just haven't posted it as yet, and I have film dating back to the mid 70s. If you subscribe to my cha nel, be sure to select the notification bell! Steve
@@WarbirdVideosI was at Reno from '74 to '86. Hope to see some of your videos from those times.
Conquest 1, Red Baron, "Bear", and Precious Metal were my favorite birds. Thanks
Best Video for this years Reno Races so far!
Excellent camera work Steve. The race was pretty good as well.
OMG, that sound on 1:50 reminds me of the sound of freedom by WW2 aircraft in the world war in history
Awesome Photography! Thank You.
You're welcome!
I looove the sound of these aircraft
AMAZING machines!
One steady hand there Steve... nice work!
Outstanding camera work 👈😎👍👍👍
I love these races❤️❤️❤️❤️🛩️🛩️
Thank you Steve!
amazing footage. so sad that there won't be any more races in reno.
It is sad, Why though?
THAT WAS SO AWESOME.
reminds me of an Oshkosh EAA airshow
Totally different actually.
I remembered the reno 2011 as soon as I entered the video :/
Thanx! Great camera work!
“ i tan this dog over with a Jetski, and he loved it he’s like do it again” 😂😂 did anyone else catch that in the background
I am just happy to see Steve back in the saddle.
I love a big radial, but there's nothing sounds like a Merlin at full chat....
How cool would it be if the USAF & USN would allow, purely for recruiting reasons of course, to "race" an F-16C and a
F/A-18E, around that loop.
Perhaps the solo pilots on the Thunderbirds & Blue Angels.
Think how loud, fast and awesome to watch that would be!!
I can always hope. Lol.
During the race days there are all sorts of air displays that take place and I saw hornets doing square corners in the sky there, thunderbirds and even the u2 some time ago so there's so much happening. I assumed that jets would easily have the advantage on such a course but they scrub off a lot of speed in the turns and are limited by the squishy pilot so it doesn't quite turn out as you'd expect. You'd also think that the F18 would be the fastest loudest and deepest sound you'd hear - this is until the rare bear flies past at full chat - and then your whole life changes and all the car alarms as far as Vegas are going off!
Yep jet racing, would be incredible but I say they would have to keep under the sound barrier speed limit cause that would cause a tremendous sonic boom that would rupture anyone’s eardrums or shatter windows.
Just imagine how fast they were above 6000m.
Atta' BOY..! Thank YOU..!
1:50
Omg that sound 😱😱😱
Great video and sound !
"Fly fast - Turn left..." I'm watching this, and dammit all - I can't hold back the rain in my eyes - bloody goggles! LOL I planned to be there for the last couple of years, and there was always something in the way - then COVID! Then I moved from LA to the East Coast - this year, 2023 - was gonna be IT!. Then I heard about the Last Chequered Flag - and my intent and enthusiasm only grew. But life is what it is - a rehearsal for death, I've heard some say - and certainly one damn thing after another - and somehow, I've missed the last one. My intended spot was right were you were - where Placerville Rd. meets the fence. Who would dare imagine that only 900 M SSW of that wonderful vantage point, 2 T-6's would auger in, catapulting their precious cargo to Heaven, and bringing a sad coda to a 59 year era of one of the most divine forms of motion ever devised by humans. Beautiful video - thank you, Sir!
YEP!
I have been going to the Reno Air Races for close tto 30 years, was always in reserved D1-26&27 , was at the LAST RENO AIRRACE so sad to see this great event end. They have a new site in NewMexaco I think don't know when may restart. So many of te unlimited class have retired -- quite or sod their laes to museums. Bruce W
Fantastic!!!!!!!!
Wow A T-33 fleet with A P-51
Love it the sound of a P51 using lots of av gas the best
Ooh yeah nice sounds
WWII fighters were in the 300's then 400+mph towards the end right?
500 MPH? That's astounding.
WW1 they started around 80 and reached around 120, WW2 they started around 300 and reached around 450, but if you include the early jets like the ME262 which entered at the end of the war, you're looking at up to 550ish, typically the fastest low wing mono-planes today can just about touch 500-550, and the fastest jets can reach 1900mph, such as the Russian MIG31 at 3000kph or Mach 2.83
1:29....wtf did he just say 🤣
He ran a dog over with a jet ski!😅
Back in the day, when the fast guys flew fast planes. Then it all went to hell in a hand basket. Now, it's nearly gone. Sad.
never to be seen again.
Not true. They already have had 8 locations apply to be the races' new venue. While they won't be in Reno, the National Championship Air Races will be back in 2025!
It's all about VOODOO!
Can anyone tell me exactly how the engines on the Reno Racers have been modified compared to the original WW2 engines? I know that they've put special fuel in them and they suspend the normal operating limitations - but what other modifications have they made, exactly? Many thanks.
Night and day. Kick it around in a web search. There's a company in SoCal that specializes in Merlins.
Looks windy
Looks like the Mustangs were out in front. Was there a Hellcat? Would like to see a FW190 participate but there are few that are airworthy.
Both the 190 & Hellcat are too rare. I don't believe that there's a flyablale 190 on the planet. The Hellcat is also too slow. These are Gold cass racers. A Hellcat world be Bronze. I don't believe I've ever seen an F6F on the course though.
Rare Bear is a Bearcat
Si son las carreras anuales de reno en California
Love to you sir....
Afraid I'm not to make it...I..
Bear seems off her game.
damn near tip stalled on the first lap
Have there ever been any modified Spitfires, Focke Wulf FW190s or 109s competing?
Trying to find an intact 190 or 109 would be near impossible. Now, a Spitfire or a LA-5 might be possible simply because there's enough of them existing out there. Getting them to Reno is a whole other issue.
there is only one flyable focke wulf D series, only one who would be able to compete, problem is: it’s a d13, on of the rarest D‘s there is, it will never fly, even on a simple display, all you can get is an engine test, if your lucky, but you can definitely find some 109‘s or 190A‘s on display ;) spitfire and hurri‘s even quite often
btw, awesome video
@@TripleAlfafa A 109 could be doable because of the amount of Casa airframes out there too.
I feel the only way you’d see a modded Spitfire in this would be if someone acquired a hulk and rebuilt it from the ground back up.
@@TripleAlfafa they're too slow. They tried in Cleveland
Reno air race 2022
Sorry, but its nice to see a race where Rare Bear is NOT In front the whole race.
Interesting. The Bear hasn't been a major competitor in at least 15 years. It's nice to see them all fly. The full-blown racers are all gone now.
@@WarbirdVideos What happened to the full-blown racers, if I may ask?
@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X Not sure exactly, but I don't think even the first place purse covered their expenses, let alone second and lower places.
@@WarbirdVideos
Thank you!
Whay did they shut it down and is no more I understand?
0:28 that's why.
Houses kept getting built closer to the course
Because redbull didn't have anything to do with it.
@@tinto278...confederate flag? I know that's a very bad thing, but why can't they do what NASCAR did and just ban it?
👍👍👍 🇧🇷
1:30 "I ran this dog over with a jetski" .........umm what?!?
That wouldn't have happen if the dog was on a leash!
la carreras de reno en California creo no
1:26 Jackpot..
Going to go on 6 hours of sleep because these sounds are amazing. Cant stop watching
race an reno 1race cada year
I was bummed to see the proudly displayed Dixie flag.
Why were you bummed to see the Rebel flag?
I don't love the confederate flag, but I don't demonize it either. It's part of our history. I was raised in the SF Bay Area, so for me it meant "rebel", or rebellious, and that's how my generation grew up during the psychedelic 60s. It was used on the Dukes of Hazard. It only changed during the PC movement during the last 20 years.
The Confederates didn't enslave anyone. Early Americans did, as did many other countries at the time. The south wanted to susceed from the rest of the nation, thus the rebel label. What's so good about Americans supporting China's slave labor these days in order to get cheap products?
@@WarbirdVideos I hear what your saying. In relation to the south, state legislatures (like South Carolina) actually brought this flag BACK to state house to troll and punish the civil rights movement. For many this flag represents generations of racism, Jim Crow, 2nd class citizenry. To me it represents these things as well as other far right ideas. It’s nearly never flown as just a historic artifact. It’s also an enemy of the us that thankfully lost. It’s a loser.
Ben - Do not forget that we killed several million native Americans, for gold and western movement.. Muslims in other countries still have slaves. All ya'll have a blessed day, and thanks for posting the video.
Is this 2011...
Not 2011, that was the year of the big crash. This was a heat race in 2015.
Ok sorry..
Bye Bye Reno
Sad. I never saw that race in person.
@@bluetopguitar1104 you have one more chance this September. Make it happen
0:26 orange lgbt flag
From my phone, Isn't that a "Don't Tread on Me " flag..?
@@bernardc2553 Go out Trump
planes pixar race
Why fly the rebel flag. That’s he losers flag if you know your history
It also symbolizes rebellion. But if you're a conformist, you may not understand that.
@@WarbirdVideos yeah , ok. To me I see a bunch of sore losers. Get over it
@@golfclash2035 Get over what? They're all dead. Yeah, they lost, but they fought for what they believed in. Now, just the symbol remains. Ever see "The Dukes of Hazard", or hear the song "The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" by the 60's group "The Band"?
@@WarbirdVideos it’s a REBEL flag being flown in the country in which was defeated. It’s an embarrassment and a joke. Don’t rebel next time mofos. Go vote. Same dumbass Trumptards . And no I don’t like Biden either he’s another retard
@@WarbirdVideos >>Yeah, they lost, but they fought for what they believed in.
Huge waste of resources. As with Horse racing airplane racing should end as we stopped Bull fighting.
Lmao, it already ended. Waste of your energy at this point
Really, looks like recycling when you consider the aircraft are 80+ years old.
Go to Hell
Ah yes, bullfighting and air racing… definitely the first comparison that comes to mind… 🤦♂️
Might as well ban fun while we’re at it…
It’s also not much of a waste of resources, there’s not many other places this sort of expertise can be applied, nor is there much other equipment that consumes this sort of resources. In many ways, it keeps many many people with jobs they very much enjoy and ensures the skills for keeping such things going survive! No harm in that. So no. This sort of thing needs to go on, otherwise much of the fun, unique things in the world start getting quietly stamped out. Even now they’re relocating their flying because of airfield limitations, but they’ll keep going because it’s what they love doing. No one should take something fun away simply because it “wastes resources”.
@@ThisisGabe120 Did they really end it?
3:24 idk
