For anyone interested, I'd just like to pass along some great Thunderbird DVD and book recommendations.
- Reach for the Sky IMO, the best Thunderbird DVD incl. the entire Nellis airshow with complete radio calls and in-cockpit footage as a bonus along with the hour long documentary and behind the scenes feature presentation of the 2000 team. Can be found at ShopPBS.com.
- Thunderbirds - Skies of Thunder Produced by the USAF Thunderbirds during the 50th anniversary season (2003). Includes a high quality show with original soundtrack by Howard Leese and some radio calls in the background. Available included in a DVD Set at Amazon.com. For just the Skies of Thunder DVD: Browse Amazon.com and eBay.com
- Discovery Wings: American Pride Collection. Includes one DVD featuring the 2002 Thunderbird team behind the scenes during their training season. Occasionally seen on the Discovery Wings (Military) Channel, but can also be ordered on Amazon.com.
- We Rode the Thunder: The Autobiography of the Air Force Thunderbirds Their story... in their own words. 200 page book from the 50th anniversary season. Highly recommended. Available at M.T. Publishing Company.
- Summer Thunder by Brian Shul. A behind the scenes look at the dedication, preparation, and pride the Team exhibits in their unrelenting pursuit of aerial perfection. Fantastic photographs by the author himself, in flight and on the ground. Available on Amazon.com and GalleryOnePublishing.com.
