The Reno Air Races are a family affair for the Hintons: two decades after Steve Hinton won his first unlimited class race, his son Steven entered the business and soon followed suit. Flying highly modified P-51 Mustangs at speeds that routinely exceed 450 mph, father and son have (so far) six Unlimited class championships between them. Experience the fast-paced world of air racing through the eyes of these two extraordinary pilots.
The GE Aviation Lecture Series is made possible by the generous support of GE Aviation.
