F-16 Thunderbird

The Thunderbirds gave us a fantastic performance as usual today at the Rockford AirFest.  Last year, the AirFest was cancelled when the military cancelled all military performances do our dysfunctional federal politicians failure to address budget issues.  The turnout this year seemed low.  The number of static display aircraft was also much lower.  After a year off, the show seemed to incur a number of snags causing delays.  And, of course, prices seemed to have gone up.  Still, it’s a great way to spend a day in the sun.
