Dover Air Force Base’s biennial open house and air show drew an estimated 120,000 visitors over two days, setting a new attendance record.
The Thunder Over Dover Air Show featured the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the Army Golden Knights parachute team, a rare C-5M Super Galaxy static display, helicopter rescue demonstrations, vintage WWII aircraft flyovers, and STEM career exhibits.
Base commander Colonel Sarah Johnson credited the turnout to ‘the Delaware community’s incredible support for our airmen.’ Over 2,000 visitors expressed interest in Air Force careers. Local hotels sold out and restaurants saw 40-60% revenue increases.
