More Info
Chicago is very proud to have the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds back this year. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds have been dazzling audiences since 1953 with their commanding presence and precision flying in their F-16 Fighting Falcons. For the Thunderbird Demonstration Jet Team, 2007 is an unprecedented year as they are welcoming the two first ever female pilots. As role models for men and women of all ages the Thunderbirds area a select group of Air Force Pilots who perform intricate maneuvers as close as 18 inches apart and often approaching the speed of sound. They represent the skills and techniques demanded of every Air Force pilot and are considered a "mirror image" of every front-line fighter pilot.
