The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds flew over the Las Vegas Valley today at 1:10 p.m.
According to Capt. Mesha Nelson, public affairs officer of the Thunderbirds, the team planned to head south, flying at low altitudes over Downtown Summerlin and continue south over Ikea. At the South Point casino, the plan was to head north along the Las Vegas Strip, returning to home at Nellis Air Force Base.
In April, the fighter jets performed a flyover above hospitals in the valley.
