The Thunderbirds will be flying around the Valley and adjacent areas beginning at 2:30pm today. 1430 for all you Vets. Attached is the flight plan for this event. Looking like they may be real close to flying over my house. Camera is ready!

What a great treat for you. Here is a question most do not consider: Are you going to watch the 'Birds or are you going to shoot them? There is a huge difference. We will have to wait to find out which was your choice. Enjoy either.

I worked at Nellis 99-01..watched them practice all the time.... one time we had a show only for Nellis folks
it was the T birds final practice...and it has to be approved by the 4 star..... along with the T birds there were the Navy Blue Angles, the Canadian Snowbirds...the Army Golden Night's parachute crew. the Navy Leap Frogs parachute crew and the Canadian ?? parachute crew..... very exiting few hours.... then after they each performed, the pilots all switched to different aircraft.... eg Canadian pilot go up with a Blue Angel pilot, AF guy go with Canadian pilot etc etc

Sadly...it appeared that their flight plan deviated just a bit...too much. They were nowhere near my house thus the SD card contains no images of them. Really disappointed!

Some nice shots there! They deviated there flight plan from what was posted so I got no shots.
