Was just sitting in my living room, when we heard a plane. We live in the flight path of Mccarran, so that's not unusual. But I'm a military brat, I know the difference between a commercial or private plane and a military jet. I went outside to see what was going on, and saw literally these guys doing a pass around the valley. Turns out, they were doing a flyby in support of and tribute to the covid 19 first responders and medical personnel. I had no idea, but it was the coolest thing in the world to walk out my front door just in time to see them fly overhead.

[@hugogonzalez7998]

Hermoso...

[@nancyhobson9710]

We used to live on the very Western edge of Brisbane, Australia right hard up against the mountains..The DC-8.I think had Pratt and Whitney engines. All us kids used to turn outside to see it. Anyhow the pilots got to know we were going out to see them. They used to go low over o ur house. And you could hear the engines then increase power t o get over the mountain range.

[@therealmeemawmallen9493]

[@drnogueiras8783]

EMTJEA mostly recruiting, supposedly

[@deplorable_bitter_clinger7482]

@@drnogueiras8783 - Recruiting, public relations - not just domestically but with foreign allies and other nations. I'm sure that one of the requirements of the T'birds and the Blue Angels is that both the pilots and the ground crew are good at mixing with people - "people persons" because they represent their service and their country. I would not be surprised if that same requirement holds for all the other demonstration teams - Canadian Snowbirds, British Red Arrows, S Korean Black Eagles, Japanese Blue Impulse. All these teams represent their service and their country to the public at large.

At what time mark do you notice it's a RC plane? At the 6:12 time mark, it looks suspicious to me. Is that a part of the video that you feel they are using a RC F-16? Just curious...

[@J-Razzle1534]

Amazing video. I was a member from 2013-2017. This footage is from my time on the team, I recognize a lot of the names including “Boss” Hammond...great memories

[@theedgeinshow]

I have to ask, what was it like the first time seeing your name on the side of one of those beautiful beasts?

[@apathyangel1]

Thank you for your service! I just walked out and saw them flying today. I had no idea they were doing a flyby today, I just heard the sound of a military jet so I walked out to see what was going on. No matter how many times I've seen you guys fly, nothing prepares you for seeing it in person. It never fails to totally make my day.

[@PhoenixLyon]

My Dad tried for years to get on 'The Team', (if you're ex AF, or a dependent, caps always LOL) instead, he wound up with this crew called the Red Eagles and a Top Secret clearance. Stationed at Nellis from 78- 1982 when he retired. ✌

[@AJ-ld5mv]

@@theedgeinshow great question

[@maxflyman5435]

A "senior citizen" now, I grew up as an AF brat, and have been watching the 'Birds since the late 50's. When they moved to the F-100 Super Sabre, that was it. Been my favorite for many, many years. BUT... The F-16 is without a doubt, THE hands down winner now. Sleek, sexy, fast and the incredible maneuverability of this GORGEOUS aircraft is intoxicating. The Blues' F/A 18 is sweet. but it's a Jaguar XKE to the F16 Veyron. Thanks.

[@drewowings2515]

The f-16 is my favorite jet. Next would be the f14 tomcat. There is a look to the f16 I’ve always thought was bad ass. I guess maybe it has something to do with growing up watching iron eagle and top gun.

[@bnizzle8500]

I can remember being an awestruck 8year old seeing these guys for the first time. Simply put it was awesome.

[@PhoenixLyon]

Dad was AF, so I saw these guys often. Each time was a thrill. From 6 years old, to 58, now, and they still get my blood racing! ....just something about jet engines screaming by in a low-level pass.....✌

Dear Thunderbirds entire crew... Thank you for this fantastic video! It is such a joy seeing the awesome skills that you have! My 2 children loved watching over and over again, any VCR video that came out. Your skill definitely thrilled them so much of the time in their upbringing, they became a part of The United States Marine Corps. Thank you so much for your beautiful videos and the continued intense feats in our skies above. Be careful, and stay safe! You are such a beautiful group of men and women! The close ups that are shown from your view is incredible! The different movements that your bodies are subjected to, shows the intensity of what happens to you that gives us a grand view from the ground.

[@serwolf2443]

@AAP- SG All aerobatics team chose trainers just to gain higher maneuverability to obtain breathtaking & spectacular aerial figures instead limited ones that an "High energy" exibition limited from the use of fighters can do, and somehow also a bit boring due to restricted variety of figures.

Have had the pleasure of attending several shows in the past in Seattle. Then one of my friends from high school Brock M. was the egress technician. My son Jeremy got to sit in the cockpit.

[@ErnestoEliasMartinezIV]

You are very lucky to have flown in an F16, in 1965 I drew an identical jet to the F16 based on the P-51 Mustang, the dream of all my life was to fly in an F16 and from what I see today I will die without fulfilling that wish.

[@frankpalmer5085]

This is an awesome video. I live on the west side of Columbus, Ohio and these guys came SCREAMING over the neighborhood, one day. My kids thought we were being attacked...lol. Turns out they were just doing a flyover for a buckeye game. Still awesome though! I grew an Air Force brat, with my grandfather, and mother both serving. Gramps was a part of SAC during the cold war. He sadly passed just 2 years after the fall of the Berlin wall. I love military aircraft! Thanks guys!!

@@patch5859 US and Iran were allies before these stupid ayatollahs occupy our country. Prior to that in 1909 an American missionary called Howard Baskervill devoted his life in Constitutional Revolution Of Iran and died in Tabriz for Iranians. He wanted to help us gain freedom. Unlike what has happened politically, my personal experience is that there is a very good understanding between our people, our nations should help each other in establishing peace in the world. From Tehran where our people stand in front of bullets to Atlanta where Martin Luther king has been buried, we all have been fighting for freedom for many years and that is how our people are connected.

I used to be stationed at Nellis AFB so I got to see the Thunderbirds on a regular basis. I was also there when they had their accident during training at Indian Springs in which they all augured in while performing a four abreast loop. It was a very sad time and there was talk of disbanding them. I'm glad that did not occur and that they're still flying. On a side note, the weekend after the accident a Thunderbird bellied in at Nellis without lowering its gear. I watched it happen. Since it was a weekend not many people saw it. How Bitchin' Betty didn't warn the pilot I don't know. They quickly went out with a crane, picked up the aircraft, put it in a hangar and posted guards all around. Then they came around and said to everyone, " you didn't see that". My reply was, " didn't see what"?
