The Air Force "Thunderbirds" air demonstration team

I am fortunate to live close to Hill AFB which hosts an air show every year. Every four or five years we are privileged to have the Air Force Thunderbirds attend and demonstrate their amazing skill with the F16. We had about 200,000 people show up this year for the event. (The crowd is always larger when the Thunderbirds are performing.) These are a few of the photos I took.

You can imagine...200,000 people = 50,000 cars. We had to park about two miles from the show, and after it was over it took us two hours to get off the base!

I have watched them and find them to be hypnotizing. It is as beautiful as a ballet.
