This year’s air show at Scott Air Force Base was my second opportunity to see the Thunderbirds fly. No matter how many times I see flight demonstration teams such as this, it’s totally thrilling!

It doesn’t matter if you’re watching a single plane flying solo:

Or two planes doing something breath-taking:

Or four planes flying so close, they look like one:

Or the whole squadron, flying in formation:

Even on the ground, these planes are always amazing!
