FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - The famous U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds are ready to soar in South Florida.
They’re in town for the 2024 Fort Lauderdale Air Show this weekend.
On Tuesday afternoon pilots gave residents a sneak peek of what you’ll see at this year’s event. Showcasing daring stunts in the sky, sometimes flying just over a foot apart.
Major Eric Tise said their passion is fueled by a purpose.
“We work super hard to make it perfect, that way we can inspire people who see it on the beach, you know whether they want to be in the military,” said Tise. “Whether it’s a doctor or a lawyer, or teacher, policemen, we want to inspire them to do something with their life that they love.”
The big show is on Saturday and Sunday and will feature teams from the Navy and Red Bull.
