Hawaii Guardsmen were displaying their C-17 at the Reno Air Race on September 16th when a vintage P-51 crashed into the audience. Eleven people died and about 70 others were injured, including a Hawaii Air National Guardsman who was released from a local hospital. The Hawaii Guardsmen provided triage and comfort to injured and survivors. Watch the video by TSgt Andrew Jackson.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
