I see that the Thunderbirds are having an airshow this weekend at Eglin. Any thoughts on a good location to watch without going on the base? Is it too far to see from the 30-A area?
Thanks!

We enjoyed identifying all the flying aircraft ( or trying to) on the beach.
What was the big plane that kept flying by with 2 huge propellars in the front? Was it a seaplane?

You might see some of the jets running up the beach from 30A, but you won't see any of the show.
Thanks!

I just noticed this thread, but I went to the show and altough I wasn't close enough to see who got in the cockpits, the announcer mentioned at least three female pilots...there may have been as many as four...of course I joked with my wife about it but you have to respect that! :clap_1:

Great to hear. I only knew about the one!
Long ago I did some PR work with the Thunderbirds...all guys then...and they were really great guys--I am glad that some women are getting the same wonderful experiences.
