Every year Nellis AFB opens to the public for 'Aviation Nation'. Over 300,000 people visited Nellis on Sat. & Sunday. Free to the public and one of the few days a civilian can walk the flightline. Many aircraft are on display, both old and new. Many of the planes also give air demonstrations. The Thunderbirds have been flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon since '83.

The Thunderbirds start their air show.

The USAF Air Demonstration Squadron or the Thunderbirds take to the air. Formed in 1953 at Luke AFB in Arizona, they moved to Nellis AFB in 1956. The name Thunderbirds was picked because of the SW location and the legend of the thunderbird. Invincible and unchallenged in the air, a thunderbird reigns supreme.
