Thunderbirds Bring Patriotism to Sioux Falls | Pierre News

The US Air Force Thunderbirds are roaring into Sioux Falls this weekend, ready to dazzle crowds with jaw-dropping aerial stunts in honor of America’s 250th birthday. Flying F-16s painted in patriotic red, white, and blue, these elite pilots push the limits of precision—sometimes flying just 18 inches apart at 400-500 mph. Led by Lieutenant Colonel Tyler Clark, the team’s mission is to recruit, retain, and inspire, especially young dreamers who witness their fearless displays. Clark says the most rewarding part? Seeing kids’ eyes light up, realizing these heroes are real—and that big dreams are possible if you chase them. Before the main show, they’ll host a Hometown Hero event, letting a local hero ride along with the Thunderbirds for an unforgettable experience.
