Thunderbirds

The Air Force Academy graduation ceremony usually concludes with a show by the famous Air Force Thunderbirds, and that's this week's Skywatch Friday post.
They're famous for their incredible aerobatic moves.
And of course, they fly in very tight formations.
Don't miss them if they perform near you!

  14. Oh, your post made me curious and I checked the Thunderbirds 2012 schedule. They will be here in BC in August and I hope I can go to see them. I read that they fly 2 feet (!) apart. I especially loved your third shot with the planes lined up.
