This is sad that I know at least 2 Black pilots who applied for the Thunderbirds with More flight hours and higher ranks . With all of that still weren't chosen. Sad thing we have a Black General and he hasn't addressed that all. He's nothing more than an Barack Obama just a bunch of fancy speeches
In the 70 year history of the team, there have been several black Air Force pilots who have been selected to fly on the Thunderbirds. It's more than just rank and flight time to be selected to the Thunderbirds (and the Blue Angels) and it's possible those gentlemen just didn't make the cut.
