People along Fort Lauderdale Beach had a sneak peek of the air power that will soon grace the coast of Broward County. 

Around 5 p.m. Sunday, an F-16 from the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds made a cursory run to conduct a sight survey and promote  the upcoming show.

The Lauderdale Air Show will bring the entire Thunderbirds team to Fort Lauderdale, along with several other military and civilian aerial performers, on April 28 and 29.

It's been five years since Fort Lauderdale last hosted an air show.

The center of the excitement will be near Sunrise Boulevard and A1A.
