Wow! I didn't know there was jet engine powered aircraft racing. Piston engine yes, but not jets. Very interesting. Obviously no real aviation racing fan wants to see any contact, but this incident certainly demonstrated the amazing flying skills involved. Glad both pilots are safe so that they may fly again. Thanks for posting. Learned something new.
DH: "this incident certainly demonstrated the amazing flying skills involved." In my book, near the top of the list of amazing flying skills you find... - Don't fly into another aircraft.
Have been going to Reno Air Races the past 8 years. If you like aviation, it doesn’t get any better. We go Fri, Sat & Sun each year, always go to the pits. You are up-close to the, planes, pilots and crews. I highly recommend.
L-39s are incredibly robust and very stable in flight. They are Soviet jet trainers and designed to put up with a lot of abuse. Still, that's a lot of leading edge damage, in addition to the loss of the wingtip and trailing edge flap. Wow. Nice landing, captain.
Their actually Czech, but the Russians DO use them for training...so I guess they are Russian jet trainers? Haha. They are pretty robust. I used to work for one of the main companies here in the US that did L-39 westernizations, repairs and upgrades. Pretty neat bird.
Yes, L-39 ALbatros are very safe and very robust jet trainers, but NO, they aren´t soviet, but are developed and manufactured at Aero Vodochody company in Czech Republic in the middle of Europe. And actually same manufacturer developed totally new generation of this succesfull jet trainer, L-39NG.
Breath taking to watch 😮 glad they got down safely. Love to visit the races from the UK it's on my list. Thanks for posting, great video and some great lessons.
Looks like the right aileron was gone. Good think you only need one aileron to control roll. I used to do RC pylon racing. Back in '76 I was running quarter midget class racers that had just one aileron located on the left wing. I was out practicing one day and after a flight this guy comes over to look at my plane. After a minute he says "you've only got one aileron". I say "yeah, so?". He says "so how do you turn right"? I replied "it's a pylon racer. It only needs to turn left". ;-)
Wow! Good flying! Thankful for the outcome. Of note, who knew racing jets were more durable than an F1 car? F1 cars touch like that in a race and it blows apart.
That's Because race cars (F1 and Indycar) are designed to crash, Airplanes are not. Race cars are designed to "blow apart" or disintegrate in a crash. Why? Because race cars (unlike airplanes) tumble on the ground. With every "hit" goes every piece of the car, and each piece carries away kinetic energy.... that's being dissipated away from the driver. Its called crash survivalability.
Incredible how the pilot immediately started gaining as much altitude as possible after the contact in order to sort of assess his control issues and prep for landing.
Yep. Every Reno pilot has to go through a "Pylon School" before being allowed to race. If the pilots have any problem what so ever, the procedure is to come off high and right to put distance between the other aircraft and give altitude for problem solving. Everyone at Reno are safety fanatics and many of them literally wrote the book. Anyone who isn't safe doesn't race.
Good bit of pilotage. Lot's of instinct to immediately pull up to get altitude and bleed airspeed to get the plane as clean as possible to set up for landing...a great job!
You're right. You can see him level the wings immediately (it's probably pilot input and NOT an aerodynamic result of the impact.) However, he pulled up SO FAST, they almost had a huge midair! I know the plane in back had more energy and was passing... AND the camera angles are deceiving, but I don't know what was more of a "close call": the initial impact and losing your wingtip, or the immediate pull-up! (I know the first thing to do is go wings level. And at the races, you pull up and out of the race circuit, but it seemed a BIT too fast... 🫣🤔) But anyways, any landing you walk away from, right?? ✌️👍
@Bobby Y Yeah, I'd take watching 3000+ hp planes flying 450+ mph, 50 feet off the deck, anyday over a bunch of dudes in bicycle shorts fighting on who gets to wear a yellow shirt.
Czech made training jet L-39 Albatros are very good and very safe jets ... Actually is possible to buy new generation, L-39NG, fully modern generation of training jet.
this has been around LONG before nascar or formula 1 has ever existed.. Reno Air Races began in 1964, which was apart of a much larger circuit of dozens of different races annually in the US.
I never knew this was a sport, but now i want to spectate. This would be amazing with military jets +mach. Or virtual dogfights would be an amazing sport as well.
I know the pilot, Alex Eckman. He's a friend and a customer of the company I work for. He is a great pilot (obviously). He'll be back at reno this year with a different jet (L-39MS).
Very profesional recovery of this difficult situation. It shows quality of Czech made training jet L-39 Albatros too. Is able to land safely only with part of one wing and save pilot and rest of aircraft.
I've never seen anything like this. Never knew they did this. Didn't think there'd be enough room for something like this. Amazing and expensive sport.
No they both talk shit. I was at a tractor pulling event awhile ago and there was an aerobatic demonstration. I have an aviation background and the tractor pulling commentator had done his research, named individual maneuvers, aircraft type, engine, speeds, technique and pulled off the commentary better than these utter hacks ever could. In addition he mentioned the pilot's history, air force squadron number, year joined, his instructor, his service history how many children he has. These dopes don't even know what an aileron is - it's embarrassing listening to this. All I can say is they'd make terrible cleaners because I'm sure they wouldn't know where or how to start. They should just join the unemployment queue. I'd rate this commentary 0/10.
Well, I was watching Reno Air Races 50 years ago and there were no jets then! I think 50 years from now, it will probably be all drones! A GA pilot, I never had any desire to race, maybe because I saw a few crashes at Reno.
Damn, glad no one was hurt and I really need to get out more, I didn't know they race planes, LOL! I knew about airshows and the different games done in the US and internationally with the military. Pretty cool, but I wonder if it's one of those odd sports that watching it on tv is better then watching it live because you can actually see everything! Then again the sights and sounds are a big part of the experience, and your tv can't give you that part of the experience.
Indeed it is. Lived in Reno for 7 years and went every year. I came back to Michigan the year the tragedy happened that killed numerous people. After that incident they moved the race farther away from the grandstands
Oh yeah, make sure to come to the races at least once! Reno even during this event has plenty of rooms and parking at the event. The pit pass is worth it too. Thay you can walk through and get up close to all the aircraft, it's the best air show you will ever see.
You guys are amazing..I don't know what else to say. I prefer seeing jets flying in a show rather than in a war this is clear. But "jet races"?!...only in Reno! Only in USA you can see something like this. BNL style..
I’ve watched the plane races that Red Bull puts on but those planes weren’t jet powered. I had no idea there even was such a thing as jet plane racing! Definitely going to have to look up and watch more of these!
WOW that could have easily ended badly for both pilots and planes. Glad everyone was alright. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Glad professionals were filming and caught it all; I would have like to see the other aircraft land. I saw preliminary still pics from the day it happened from a pilot friend: no RH aileron and it looks like that is what caused the stab and LH horz stab damage.

@@stargazer7644 Technically it's the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer, and there is also damage to the left horizontal stabilizer leading edge as well. Damn lucky the elevator wasn't damage. I'd take a large amount loss of yaw control anyday, over even a minuscule amount of loss of pitch control.
Woah. Looks like he didnt use flaps on the landing, right? Figuring maybe he didnt want to stress things any more than they already were! Plus damage to the vertical and horizontal stabs. Damned good flying.
orangelion03 he was missing part of the right aileron. Don’t know hierarchy much flaps they have, but I’m sure the right side was either locked from the damage, or he lost control of it because the end where it attached was lose, so it likely just hung there with no control.
Some people don't seem to understand how dangerous air racing can be. High speeds, in aircraft pushed to their limits, and pilots who have to be exceptional, not just good. So much can go wrong so quickly, and the fatal crash on Sunday drives the point home in tragic ways.
“480 MPH, I’d like to see NASCAR do that”. Thanks Steve, I’ll have idiotic comments that have nothing to do with anything for $1000. Coming up next will be the Apples to Oranges Bonus Round.
Not all aircraft had them and from watching the jumbotrons during the races, it seems like the range on the cockpit cameras wasn't very long. The broadcasters only seemed to use them during taxiiing.
What jet aircraft qualify for use? Are there different classes? Modifications? I'm just curious because I've always been into high performance. Cars, motorcycles, 4x4 stuff etc.,now this comes to my attention. Talk about the ultimate hot rod. ..

I went to Reno air races acknowledging in '91 it was absolutely amazing!
Astonishing - it looked to me that not only did he lose some of his wing, but the aileron went, too. That was some flying to get it down!

Harrah's was great!
What a testament to the ruggedness of the L 39. I don't too many jets could have survived this.
He survived that incredible. As a pilot myself that's as good as winning first place! Nice flying
Settle down, Captain Happy. We're all enjoying great VFR around here, no IMC please.
Robert Miles I think his mom grounded him, or his cat pissed on his hot pocket.
@Jeff Mattel Jealous much
Damn. That pilot is fantastic. He kept control of the aircraft amazingly well!
wow, he made it back safely. thats good piloting there
Also insanely lucky. Couple more inches of that wing and both may not have made it...

He lost his aileron !!! that's some flying getting that back in :-)
Yeah, sad, neither commentator realized the incredibleness of that control surface missing.
Around 730 is the replay. Amazing no one was seriously hurt. Good flying.
I LOVE THOSE AIR RACES. SOMETIMES YOU SEE SOME NICE DEADLY CRASHES. AMAZING.
There is a lot more damage to that plane than appears. Dam good flying.

When formula one is not expensive enough.
If they had F1 budgets, the teams would be flying multiple F-22's.
You can get a used L-39 jet for 200k. Even if it cost you 3x that to outfit it for racing and modern upgrades it'd still be less than F1. Crazy!
