Thunderbirds - United States Air Force Thunderbirds - Netflix
The USAF Air Demonstration Squadron (“Thunderbirds”) is the air
demonstration squadron of the United States Air Force (USAF). The
Thunderbirds are assigned to the 57th Wing, and are based at Nellis Air
Force Base, Nevada. Created 65 years ago in 1953, the USAF Thunderbirds
are the third-oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name)
in the world, after the United States Navy Blue Angels formed in 1946
and the prestigious French Air Force Patrouille de France formed in
1931. The Thunderbirds Squadron tours the United States and much of the
world, performing aerobatic formation and solo flying in specially
marked aircraft. The squadron's name is taken from the legendary
creature that appears in the mythologies of several indigenous North
American cultures. On 1 March 2013, the USAF announced that due to
budget cuts, aerial demonstration team performances would cease
indefinitely, effective 1 April 2013. On 6 December 2013 the
Thunderbirds announced their 2014 schedule and the resumption of their
appearances.
Thunderbirds - Overview - Netflix
The Thunderbirds Squadron is a named USAF squadron, meaning it does not
carry a numerical designation. It is also one of the oldest squadrons in
the Air Force, its origins dating to the organization of the 30th Aero
Squadron, formed at Kelly Field, Texas on 13 June 1917. Officers serve a
two-year assignment with the squadron, while enlisted personnel serve
three to four years. As the squadron performs no more than 88 air
demonstrations each year, replacements must be trained for about half of
the team each year, in order to provide a constant mix of experience. In
addition to their air demonstration responsibilities, the Thunderbirds
are part of the USAF combat force and if required, can be rapidly
integrated into an operational fighter unit. Since 15 February 1974 the
Thunderbirds have been a component of the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB. Since
1953, they have flown in front of more than 300 million people.
