RENO (AP) - A man who once flew six missions into space for NASA's shuttle program has set a speed record at the Reno National Championship Air Races.
Curt Brown hit 527 mph Monday in his L-29 jet Viper and recorded 538 mph on Wednesday.
The 53-year-old of Hudson, Wis., broke his record of 524 mph set last year on his way to winning the Jet Class title.
The races have a 46-year history. This year's events run through Sunday.
