The Thunderbirds transitioned to the Lockheed Martin F-16C's in 1992 (right in between the years you guys mentioned), and have been flying them ever since.
By the way, the team flew incredibly tight formations late 90's into the early 2000's, you don't have to go back more than 8-9 years to really see a big difference (as well as how the team is being run by the powers that be).

It was General Dynamics prior to 1995 right? Just foolin with you Lawndart. Remember, I flew the "Boeing" DC-9 for years. Can't get away from the original maker Douglas, McDonald Douglas, now Boeing. Confusing!
Like everything else. More restrictions. Man, I could tell you some stories when I first got in the Navy compared to how they fly now! Remember when you took out that Cessna for you first solo flight. FUN!

Interesting, when they were at Luke 4 flew it on the Saturday show. Not sure about the Sunday show. (A little help Gunner or Convertible?) But I know I have always heard 4 flies it to give the Diamond a better look in flight. Any reason as to why 3 would be flying it instead of 4?Panther wrote:I saw it a few weeks ago in 3 as well.Atlas wrote:Looks like number four was saying hello.
