ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Air racing

Air racing is like a big game of flying where planes race against each other to be the fastest. Pilots fly their planes around a set course in the sky, and whoever finishes first wins!

Think of it like running a race at recess with your friends, but instead of running, the planes are flying! And just like how you need to follow rules when you play a game, the pilots have to follow all sorts of rules while they're racing.

The pilots have to be really good at flying and controlling their planes because they need to go really fast without crashing into each other or flying off course. It's kind of like how you need to be really skilled at running to be the fastest on the playground.

Air racing can be really exciting to watch because the planes are going really fast and the pilots are trying to beat each other. Some people even go to special air races to watch all the different planes compete!
