Did you see the Air Force Thunderbirds perform at the Air Force Academy Graduation? I just got finished watching them from my back deck and it was amazing! Although you could see them with the naked eye, my binoculars helped.
The Thunderbirds were formed at Luke Air Force base in Arizona in 1953. They were named for the Native American legend of the Thunderbird which was greatly feared and respected. According to lore "when it took to the skies, the earth trembled from the thunder of it's great wings. From it's eyes shot bolts of lightning. Nothing in nature could challenge the bird of thunder and no man could stand against it's might"!
Watching the Thunderbirds perform you can't help feeling proud to be an American as we once again give thanks to all of of military personnel, past and present, for their service to our country!
See ya on the radio!
