USAF THUNDERBIRDS at SPEEDWEEK '24 | Daytona Beach Plane Spotting

Speedweek, the biggest week of the year in Daytona Beach. Home to the Daytona 500, tens of thousands of Americans migrate south for the Great American Race. While the race itself is entertaining, the real attraction is the annual appearance the USAF Thunderbirds make. The team arrives a few days early, giving them time to practice their flyover to make sure it's perfect. Enjoy footage of the teams arrival and practice sessions, as well as the support aircraft used to bring in their equipment.
