Thanks to the generosity of the National Championship Air Races, these five lucky winners will have a once in a lifetime experience. Each day of the event, September 11-13, the lucky winners will be in the T-6 airplanes that fly over The Great Reno Balloon Race as Mass Ascension begins. This special flyover began in 2007 as a tribute to one of the Balloon Race's long time board members and has continued as an exciting part of the event.
A big thanks to all the loyal Balloon Race supporters who purchased tickets for this raffle. All proceeds help keep The Great Reno Balloon Race the largest free hot-air balloon event in the Nation.
