Aviation Nation returns to Nellis Air Force Base
November 8th-9th, 2014
It will no doubt do so again Saturday
and Sunday at Aviation Nation, an air show and open house that returns to
Nellis Air Force Base.
Las Vegas’ skies will be overtaken by
maneuvering military jets and their thundering roars during the base’s free
show that features the Thunderbirds F-16 aerial demonstration team.
At least one jet will be in the air
from the time the show’s start time at 11 a.m. to the time it ends just before
4 p.m.
The crowd also will be treated to demonstrations by the A-10
Warthog, A6M Zero, the AT-6 Texan and the L-39 Albatross. Food and beverages
will be available, as will novelties.
Attendees will be able to meet those responsible for Air Force
missions, including the pilots.
Organizers for the show, which
usually draws more than 100,000 over two days, are expecting a 10 percent to 20
percent increase in attendance since there wasn’t a show last year.
Free parking is being provided at the
nearby Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Buses will begin transporting visitors from
there to the base at 10 a.m.
