Rumble on the River

For the last 41 years, Pasco, WA has hosted an annual event on the Columbia River featuring the world's fastest race boats. Several classes of hydroplanes compete for the Atomic Cup during this action-packed weekend. Civilian and military aerial performances by a Navy F-18 Super Hornet and and F-16 Viper, among other aircraft, provided additional excitement between heats. The event generates publicity, attracts visitors and focuses attention on the water, climate and recreational aspects of the Tri-Cities area.
