Aviation Nation

Aviation Nation

Aviation Nation, sometimes referred to as "America's Air Show", is the annual air show of the United States Air Force. The show is hosted at Nellis Air Force Base in November of each year.

Being held at Nellis means that the Thunderbirds usually perform at this air show at their home base as their last show of the year. Since Nellis is the leading Air Force combat center, the show is able to feature the newest Air Force Aircraft like the F-22 Raptor.

History

The show began in 2002.
