Title: Nellis AFB Hosts Aviation Nation 2012 Date: 10 November, 2012 Name: SrA Aaron Hauser Location: Nellis AFB, Nevada Duration: 1 Min 17 Sec Description: Nellis Air Force Base opened its doors to the Las Vegas community during Aviation Nation 2012. Key Words: Open House, Nellis, Aviation Nation, Air Show, 2012, Air Force Font Info: SrA Aaron Hauser - Reporting for 99 ABW/PA Erma Perez – Aviation Nation Guest Dale Oliver – Aviation Nation Guest (SrA Aaron Hauser - Reporting for 99 ABW/PA) Nellis Air Force Base opened its doors to the Las Vegas community during Aviation Nation 2012. The free two day event celebrates 71 years of air power with a large array of events ranging from aerial performances, static displays, and other surprises. Visitors of all ages enjoyed seeing some of their favorite exhibits. (Kid #1) Watching the planes fly and doing all their tricks. (Kid #2) The jets. (Erma Perez – Aviation Nation Guest) I think the favorite part on the show has been the huge air cargo ships that I get to see. You know you only see them in the movies. Some of the other activities included a Naturalization ceremony, aerial jumps with the 820th RED HORSE Civil Engineering Airborne Division, a special Heritage flight, and a performance by Nellis' own Thunderbirds. Though Aviation Nation only lasted for a short while, many were thankful to have the opportunity to visit Nellis and take part in the festivities. (Dale Oliver – Aviation Nation Guest) I'm really grateful to everyone in the service for offering this. Thousands attended Aviation Nation 2012, an event celebrating over seven decades of air power excellence, providing both a reflection of the past and a glimpse of the future ahead.
