Alright I was wondering do the t-bird crew members take-off before or after the t-birds do when heading for events and do they arrive before or after the t-birds when arriving there? Also they use a C-5 as their aircraft right?

USAF has a C17 on hand dedicated to the Thunderbirds ...Thunderbird 14 (no particular one) and it usually arrives after the team has arrived at the show site and takes off after all the jets leave the show.
