Can anyone confirm this??
Alright, now if i counted right the t-birds have had 4,043 performances. Can anyone tell me if this is correct or can anyone correct it? Also is there a site that has the number of performances listed on it.

I just added up the shows since the 4,000th performed at Robins AFB, GA on Saturday, May 13, 2006. Not counting any weather cancellations (the actual number may very well be lower by the number of shows scrubbed), to date the Thunderbirds would now have performed their 4,048th show as of today (Sunday, October 22, 2006).
Story, Photo and Video report here and here.
Note: The team has never cancelled a show due to maintenance in its 53-year history!

So, to backtrack a tad... The date FutureThunderbird posted this was on October 17th, which would mean per the schedule the Thunderbirds would have performed 4,045 shows; however, IF two shows between the 13th of May and the 17th of October were cancelled (due to weather?), 4,043 shows to date (Oct 17) would be correct!FutureThunderbird wrote:Alright, now if i counted right the t-birds have had 4,043 performances.
