Two pilots died when their vintage planes collided in front of tens of thousands of spectators Sunday at the National Championship Air Races in northern Nevada, cutting the final day of the event short.
Chris Rushing of Thousand Oaks, California, and Nick Macy of Tulelake, California, died after competing against each other in T-6 Texans, planes that were used to train pilots in World War II and into the 1970s. It marked the second-straight year where a pilot died at the event, and at least the third deadly crash there since 2011. Overall, though, crashes are rare for the course.
