Hawker Beechcraft Makes Some Noise at Reno Races

For the fifth year in a row, a Hawker Beechcraft Premier IA will perform fly-by demonstrations at this year's Reno National Championship Air Races and Air Show in Reno, Nevada. The racing started Wednesday and continues through this weekend, ending Sept. 20. Astronaut Robert "Hoot" Gibson will fly the Premier IA on its demonstration passes. Hawker Beechcraft also has a King Air B200GT and a Bonanza G36 on display at Reno-Stead Airport.

Mark Phelps is a senior editor at AVweb. He is an instrument rated private pilot and former owner of a Grumman American AA1B and a V-tail Bonanza.
