Grab a very special seat on the catwalk of the air traffic control tower at Edwards AFB as the US Air Force Thunderbirds perform a full high show during the 2022 Edwards AFB Air Show. This is a rare opportunity to look DOWN at the sneak pass!!
Thank you to PAO Chase Kohler for allowing us to film from the tower!

The FAA should allow one sonic boom per Airshow 😅

7:06 oh man! This might be the single coolest low pass I have ever seen ANYWHERE! Nice flippin’ shot buddy!

@speedracer2336 Год назад

They came to China in the 80s, felt so proud to be an American! Thanks Air Force!

@Flipper-mno13 Год назад

Without a doubt, the most Majestic Aircraft in the world. Very Proud and Thankful.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@nevanlovano8085 Год назад

I have to agree that the f-16 and f-18 super hornet are the 2 best air crafts in the American military arsenal

@kubstix Год назад

F-15 says what up...

@jamesadams893 Год назад

Of the three the f16 is overall best looking, with that single intake under the nose always reminding me of an oncoming shark

@DoctorShocktor Год назад

@@nevanlovano8085Neither of those is fifth generation, so no. They had their time, but the F-35, and F-15EX have them beat, not to mention the F-22, although it’s a cycle behind the others.

@jshepard152 4 месяца назад

I saw them perform over the Ohio River last year in Owensboro Kentucky. I had an obstructed view to the left, so I had to make an effort to look out that way. At one point I extended my neck to look to the left, and there was a single F-16 coming straight at me, right over the river, full afterburner. Gives me chills just thinking about it. I'm glad these guys are on our side.

@grasuh Год назад

Their diamond is now as tight as Blue Angles. NICE!

@LadyVet1975 7 месяцев назад

Brings the “LITTLE GIRL” back in me when Dad use to take us to see them years and years ago along with the Blue Angels which I had the personal experience this past week of them flying around the city of Indianapolis! Just amazing pilots! Thank you all for your dedication and service!

@MM_in_Havasu Год назад

T-Birds rock! May the Force be with them in all that they do.

@Glen.Danielsen Год назад

The F-16 is such a matchlessly beautiful bird to see as Thunderbirds. Yet I will never forget watching them fly F-4’s.

@brnby8984 Год назад

Great tracking on that sneak pass!

@dennythomas8887 Год назад

This seems to have been filmed on the rarest of rare days at Edwards. The smoke is lingering for a long time which means NO WIND! Anybody that has spent time in the high desert (where Edwards is located) knows it's always, always windy. Beautiful show and fantastic video.

@dannywalker1635 Год назад

I noticed that too. The smoke just kept hanging around. I see them here on the East coast of Florida in Daytona Beach and Brevard air show and the smoke gets in our sea breeze and is gone pretty fast.

@israelvazquez583 Год назад

I went to that show...last year, trust me, a perfect day to fly....

It will be a sad day when the Thunderbirds transition away from the F-16...and yes, I am a bit partial! :)

@TuxWing Год назад

@@justinmaguire4987 I would definitely love to believe that, but my guess is that the F-35 would be the most likely successor in my mind, but that's not a great option, IMHO.

@alarmfannh Год назад

From 1980-84 I refueled many aircraft. From C130’s,C141’s, C5’s, Med Evac DC9’s, F104’s,F4’s(all versions), T38’s, Army OV8’s and CH47’s as well as Navy Birds that found themselves dry land. My favorites were the British Vulcan, our own F15’s and 16’s and the kickass A10. I know I missed a few but it was a helluva ride, Who The Hell? POL!

@c1ph3rpunk Год назад

@@TuxWing the 35 could make for an interesting show, considering how it can maneuver. I suspect that’s the one on the list but agreed with the OP, it’ll be a sad day when they retire the F-16 from this. Though, the first time I saw them they were using A-4’s, the Scooters were cool to watch.

@roger3858 Год назад

Yeah they will probably give them to Ukraine… our tax dollars arnt enough

@jimowens2283 Год назад

@daveblevins3322 Год назад

I remember the T-Birds back in the early 70's when I was stationed at Nellis AFB in '72. F-4's 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 And they were huge comparatively.. 👀 None the less, very excellent work 👍

@ringofthebrave 6 месяцев назад

6:38 I like these type of moves (syncronized aileron aileron maneuvering or the change of formation setup 8:32 , 9:15). They should add more of that to the program. Very appealing for the audience in my opinion.

@stevecurd3944 Год назад

fantastic FAB Thunderbirds are go

@ultim8aggie Год назад

I remember watching the Thunderbirds at Hill AFB flying F-4’s as a child, then transitioning to the T-38’s around ‘73 I think. Man those F-4’s were loud!

@leathmyatt75 Год назад

seen them at Fairchild AFB a few times and I also saw them at an airshow at the Glacier Park airport in summer 1989.

@KevinW3278 Год назад

Nice footage overall. #6 doing a vertical climb at takeoff starting @3:07 is nice. Just needed the ground for an aspect of how fast and high it was by the end. The diamond and solos all had a nice pass starting @6:50

@Dobie_ByTor Год назад

The F16 is such a beautiful craft. It almost looks like a creature. Love the singsong cadence calls too. Reminds me of my childhood shows with the T38’s in late 70’s-80’s.

😎 Thanks for this Stunning & Awesome vid! Sep 2000, I had the privilege to have the Callsign ‘TBIRD 15’ for my C-130 to bring them back to Nellis. They were Amazing hosts, gave my crew a 2+ hour tour of their entire facility. Next morning, The HERK had a large #15 circled in blue stars?!!!! UNREAL! This aircraft went on to fly several hundred OEF/OIF sorties from 2003-06 with that emblem still intact. 💪🫡

At 6:36 you see why #5's number is painted upside-down. Just a cool detail if you find a high resolution pic of that maneuver.

@dannywalker1635 Год назад

I first saw the Thunderbirds at Shaw Air Base in 1970 when I was serving as a Security Forces member. They were flying the F-4's at the time. I saw them again at Seymour-Johnson just before I was discharged. I see them every year now when they come to the Daytona 500 and when they do local air shows here in Central Florida. That tail walk maneuver is really a scary one. That is just too close to a stall for me.

How in the world did you get the privilege to shoot from the tower at Edwards AFB of all places? IMO, nothing says more U. S. Air Force than Edwards. And, IMO, the F-16 is probably the best jet fighter design ever made. The Thunderbirds paint scheme in the desert just looks even more amazing. All I can say is wow, and thanks for the video.

22:00 something appears below the Thunderbirds moving incredibly fast then disappears after a few seconds. Is it a reflection? Seems to fast to be a ground vehicle.
