Nellis Air Force Base is moving up its Aviation Nation show in 2024 from its traditional November dates to April.

The free air show is now scheduled for April 6 and 7 next year.

In 2022, the November show was headlined by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and featured USAF demo teams and a USAF heritage flight showcasing F-35, F-22, and P-51 aircrafts.

There is no Aviation Nation show scheduled for 2023.
