Thunderbirds

The Airforce Thunderbird F-16 high performance team are the headliners at the Jones Beach Airshow. I think that one pilot decided to get a better view of the beach in this pass! For me, the most impressive aspect of the Thunderbirds is their ability to catch the crowd off guard. Just as the masses are enthralled with a pass like this shot, a low flying single F-16 may come in over your shoulder from behind you. The real thrill is that you never heard it coming until it zooms past you and your feet have left the ground!
