The USAF Thunderbirds performing at the Annual Reno Air Races in September-Reno, NV
The USAF Air Demonstration Squadron (Thunderbirds) is the air demonstration squadron of the United States Air Force. The Thunderbirds are assigned to the 57th Wing, and are based at Nellis AFB, Nevada. Created in 1953, the USAF Thunderbirds are the third oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the US Navy Blue Angels formed in 1946 and the prestigious French Air Force Patrouille de France formed in 1931.
The Thunderbirds Squadron tours the United States and much of the world, performing aerobatic formation and solo flying in specially marked aircraft.

Never saw the Thunderbirds, but since my Dad was a career Marine aviator, we saw the Blue Angels perform when we lived on military bases. Great shot of a fab performing team, Donna!
