USAF Thunderbirds

[FitnessBrat]

I decided to go check out our local air show this weekend, and I'm so glad I did. The Thunderbirds are amazing to watch. You get such a feeling of pride and patriotism watching these guys perform. B, was it them you recently saw? I don't remember. And my grandpa was an AF fighter pilot, which I think is cool too :usa:

This is a NATO drone I took a picture of just because I thought it was neat.

And two that our local paper took - awesome!

That drone is massive, damn. I thought they were more like small airplanes.


Those jet fighters really are something to see in person. Can't help but be impressed.

I miss going to the air shows. I grew up on air force bases until I was 12 and would go all the time.

Looks like a Global Hawk or a variant. Most are the size of a Cessna or slightly larger..Reapers and Predators for example. But those with gathering arrays..surveillance, hunters, etc. are incredibly big given they are totally unmanned.
