More about the program...
Every Fall, a lifetime’s worth of exhilarating stories develop eight minutes at a time as man and machine race the wind over the Nevada desert. Large cylindrical cans on telephone poles some fifty feet in the air act as Pylons. Pilots maneuver their small aircraft around these pylons hoping to be the first to pass the home pylon and win the race. The motto of the Air Races says it all: Fly Low, Go Fast, Turn Left.
KNPB's high definition documentary Pylon Chasers, takes a closer look at the pilots, the races, and the history behind this exhilarating sport.
