MCOT 11.10.2009 00:46

The US Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron known as the “Thunderbirds” performed an exciting demonstration of precision aerial maneuvers at a free public air exhibition over Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport on Saturday.

The event drew large audiences leading to congested traffic near the airport, as many drivers parked at the roadside watch the air show for an hour.

The US Air Force Thunderbirds–America’s ‘Ambassadors in Blue’–are the premier air demonstration squadron of one of the best-trained air forces in the world.

The acrobatic pilots used F-16 C/D fighter aircraft in the show.

The highly-skilled US Air Force flyers presented precision aerial maneuvers demonstrating the capabilities of their modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skills required to operate them.
