Las Vegas Air Show at Nellis Air Force Base
The U.S. Air Force Warfare Center, city of Las Vegas and Aviation Nation Foundation, host Aviation Nation 2008 -- the Nellis Air Force Base-Las Vegas Air Show. This year, Aviation Nation’s theme is “The 21st Century Air Force.” Several military air demonstration teams, including the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the F-22 Raptor and the U.S. Navy F-/A-18, will participate. They will be joined by several civilian air demonstration teams, including Sean Tucker and Red Bull.
The two-day event will also depict the history of American aviation and salute the recent accomplishments of America’s military in operations around the globe through numerous military and civilian ground displays. Nearly 100 aircraft covering everything from the earliest days of aviation to some of the nation’s newest military aircraft are scheduled to be on display.
