Thunderbirds fly over Hoover Dam, head to DC for America250 celebrations
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds held a flyover at the Hoover Dam Tuesday morning in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
The Thunderbirds’ flight over the dam also marked the return of the 45,000-square-foot American flag to the iconic landmark. The flag was removed earlier this month due to an expected tear.
