While the 2023 air show season is still a few months away, performers are busy throughout the country preparing for the upcoming season. That includes the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, who have been deployed to Las Cruces, New Mexico, for winter training.
Of Wings & Things columnist Frederick A. Johnsen, who is also the force behind the Airailimages YouTube channel, posted a video of the practice that the Air Force shot on Jan. 21, 2023. It’s a cool look behind the scenes of one of the nation’s favorite jet teams.
This is an amazing look at the Thunderbirds and their training for upcoming air shows! It’s remarkable to see the kind of precision and teamwork that goes into their performances – a real testament to their dedication and skill.
