It was a real F-16 at one point thoughawal2049 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2017 1:02 am 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.

Here is a couple standard Thunderbird photos from the most recent show, Aviation Nation 2017! Cheers to the conclusion of the 2017 U.S Air Force Thunderbirds Show Season.

Just found this board yesterday, my first post here.
Some shots from the Gulf Coast Salute April 2015 at Tyndall AFB, Florida. I live in Panama City, so it's not to hard to justify trudging the 15 miles or so to the show.
It rained on and off the whole day on Saturday, many of the performers were unable to fly due to weather. A few got in during breaks in the weather. The clouds broke just before the T'birds came out on Saturday, so the tarmac was wet as they spooled up. First shot is a little tornado of water being sucked off the concrete by the intake vacuum.
Heat haze behind a ground crewman
And heat haze against the trees on #6's takeoff
One more heat haze, the afterburner turn
A fairly nice solos crossing shot
Lastly, the Thunderbirds photographer. I asked him if they let him keep the gear after his tour; he grinned and made a funny sound that might have been a word. He's carrying a D3s with the 600mm f:4

photography and web design is my profession. My site is photza.com
I only got to see the TBirds at one show last year, but I got insanely lucky and made the most of it.
