WOW Don't Miss the Thunderbirds

Jeff and I just had the opportunity to experience the United States Air Force Thunderbirds up close and personal and all I can say is WOW.

What amazing pieces of machinery and what amazing folks within the squad. What a great way to showcase one of our nation's branches of the armed forces and represent all of our friends and loved ones who are fighting for our freedoms.

The F-16 jets that the pilots fly are so sleek and powerful. For the flyover at Sunday's 50th Running of the Daytona 500, six jets will be flying in formation overhead at speeds around 400 mph, perfectly sychronized only feet away from eachother. Adorned with America's colors - red, white and blue - the jets' arrival will be perfectly timed with the ending of the National Anthem.

Check out our pictures from the meet and greet on the homepage and watch for some amazing video footage coming soon from Jeff.

But most definitely DON'T MISS this display on Sunday.

I cant disagree that it is a good display but I am a mechanic in the F-15 Eagles here in Japan for the USAF and they make the F-16 look like cereal box toys. I am from Las Vegas, home of the Thunderbirds and have seen them many times so all I'm trying to say is if you ever get the chance to see F-15's in action, dont miss it. You never know.. it might have my name on it!
