The United States Air Force Thunderbirds have been demonstrating the capabilities of American air power since 1953. Today’s team flies the F-16 Fighting Falcon in formations as tight as 18 inches apart at speeds over 500 miles per hour. No other photographic subject combines this level of technical precision with this degree of visual drama.

Black & White vs Color Aviation Prints
The Thunderbirds photography is available in both full color and black & white. The color images capture the vivid blue-and-white livery of the F-16s against the sky. The black & white versions emphasize form, speed, and the graphic power of the formation — more abstract, equally powerful.
