United States Air Force Thunderbirds to Fly Over Super Bowl LVIII
The United States Air Force Thunderbirds announced earlier this week that they will conduct a flyover during the National Anthem performance at Super Bowl LVIII, February 11, 2024 over Allegiant Stadium.
Typically, the United States Air Force Thunderbirds make their season debut each year in Florida with a flyover at the Great American Race, The Daytona 500. This year, the 2024 team will debut one week earlier right in their hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada.
With Super Bowl LVIII being held just down the road from the Nellis Air Force Base, it’s only right that the Thunderbirds be the team to kick off one of the world’s most-watched annual events. The last time the Thunderbirds graced the skies above a Super Bowl was 2019 when they conducted a flyover of Super Bowl LIII over Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
Super Bowl LVIII will be the first Super Bowl to be hosted in Las Vegas, or any city in Nevada for that matter. Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020, and is home to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Thunderbirds kicked off the first ever game played in Allegiant Stadium with a flyover September 21, 2020.
Following their Super Bowl LVIII flyover, the Thunderbirds will fly to Daytona Beach, Florida, where they’ll conduct a flyover of the 2024 Daytona 500 on Sunday, February 18. The Daytona 500 will be the the 2024 team’s last public appearance prior to their first air show of the 2024 season March 23-24 at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.
