![CORRECTS AND CLARIFIES NAME AND LOCATION OF TRUCKEE FIRE & RESCUE - FILE - In this photo provided by Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue, in Reno, Nev., members of Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue and other officials look over aircraft wreckage, Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023, in Reno, after two California pilots were killed when their planes collided in mid-air while preparing to land after completing a race at the National Championship Air Races north of the city. Aviation experts say that for whatever reason, at least one racing pilot apparently didn’t see the other when their vintage planes collided in mid-air while preparing to land after finishing first and second at the air races the previous weekend. Federal investigators expect to release a preliminary report in another week or so. (Adam R.
