LAS VEGAS – In partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds soared over Hoover Dam and its 45,000-square-foot American flag on Tuesday, June 30.
Departing from their longtime home at Nellis Air Force Base, the Thunderbirds' iconic six-aircraft delta formation flew over Hoover Dam at 9:13 a.m. before continuing to Washington, D.C., where they will participate in the Salute to America250.
The flyover paid tribute to Southern Nevada's role in America's story and came just days after the Thunderbirds' June 27 return to the skies over Las Vegas, their first appearance over the valley since 2020.
Together, the two flyovers are part of a broader destination-wide summer celebration featuring fireworks, patriotic displays at Hoover Dam and nationally visible moments across Southern Nevada, underscoring Las Vegas' role as the country's Celebration Capital as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
