“Yes, the Thunderbirds will be here in April,” a spokesperson for the 96th Test Wing said.
The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will perform a two-day air show at Eglin on April 10-11, according to airshowstuff.com. No other performers have been announced.
The Thunderbirds were officially activated May 25, 1953, and are based at Nellis Air Force Base. They are America’s second-oldest flight demonstration squadron. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels were formed in 1946.
The Thunderbirds have flown the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon as their primary aircraft since 1983.
