Air Force Thunderbirds Photography

Post by AnthonyC » Sat Aug 26, 2017 10:11 pm

Hey everybody! I just wanted to get a new thread going on the forums that I think many of us will enjoy and be able to take part in.

The topic of this thread will be the Air Force Thunderbirds, feel free to post photos of the TB's from any shows from any season!

Ill go ahead and kick it off with a few photos from earlier this season. I will also be adding plenty more photos during the remainder of the season and into winter training. I feel everyone will hopefully enjoy the work I share and find it quite unique as I have been blessed to gain behind the scenes access to the team for the past two seasons. Lets enjoy this thread! Cant wait to see everyone's work!

I've seen this unmarked Thunderbird jet as a static display at Marine Corps air shows in the south east. Instead of a number, it has the Air Force logo on the fuselage. Not sure what the story is, maybe one of the reserve jets? These were all taken at the MCAS Beaufort Air Show this year.

It's a zombie F-16 painted in their Thunderbird colors. The wings come off and the tail folds into the fuselage so that they can trailer it from show to show. It was a real F-16 at one point though
