Thunderbirds

Photos by Robert E. Graf

 

This day I viewed and photographed the United States Air Force Thunderbirds:

Four men and two women flying in F-16's

 

 

The pilots

 

 

 

Flight deck crew

 

 

 

Production coordination

Observe the plane on the lower right flying at high speed between the other four in landing configuration

 

 

High speed opposing solo on the left side

 

Four planes coming from four different directions converging on (almost) a single point.

 

The next photo below is about one second later.

 

 

 

The planes are going about 400 mph - this means they are approaching each other at about 1200 feet per second
