The pandemic, which resulted in the parking of 16,000 commercial aircraft, accelerated the trend to replace aging four-engine jumbo jets with more efficient twin-engine craft. Production ended for both the Airbus A380 and the venerable Boeing 747 . Many of these aircraft were taken out of service, never to return.

Delivered in 2013, the fuel-efficient widebody jets built of advanced composites were capable of flying 248 passengers 7300 miles.

The hope is that air racing may carry on elsewhere but it’s a tough ask. A fortnight ago, the Reno Air Racing Association (RARA) announced that 2023 will be the final year that the Reno-Stead Airport (north of the City of Reno) will host the National Championship Air Races from September 13-17.
