Thunderbirds and the F-35

Post by FutureThunderbird » Sat Apr 19, 2008 10:59 pm

I found this video of some reporter interviewing Thunderbird 2, Maj. Chris Austin for this weekend's air show in NC and he asked an interesting question. At 1:20 he asked how long the Thunderbirds would remain flying the F-16. Maj. Austin replied saying that they were forecasted to go to the F-35 in 10-15 years. Now, I know things could change and probabaly will, but I think this is quite interesting! Just thought I would share it.
