One of the things that amazes me the most about the Thunderbirds is the precision of their flying. The pilots are so expert that they can fly considerably faster than commercial jets all the while that they're practically touching each other, yet they maintain exactly the right distance to create some beautiful formations.
Amanda, my dad was a World War ll pilot and he used to tell me about his harrowing experiences in the cockpit. So I have extra respect for the guys flying those precision drills.
