Thought you'd be interested in knowing that 2023 will mark two anniversaries for the Thunderbirds.

1. 70 years since the team's establishment in 1953
2. 40 years since the team first flew the F-16 Fighting Falcon

I am very excited to see the JBLM Air and Warrior Expo on their schedule, the last time we had the show was in 2016!

Congratulations, selectees. Apparently Primo is moving to Thunderbird 4 next year

No. Primo is NOT moving to Thunderbird #4 "THREAT" is moving to #4 and #3 will be Primo. I asked him in Atlantic City, and he said himself that is the plan, and then in 2024, Primo will be Thunderbird #4. Thunderbird #4 will always be the most experienced person on the team.
