A fitting post for #FreedomFriday featuring the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.

I was able to catch their Friday practice then the actual show Saturday and was happy to see them for the first time in ten years. Flying the F-16 Falcon, the professionals with this demonstration team put on a typically amazing show.

And, just to be clear, this old sailor says that while they were pretty cool, USN > USAF. #GoNavy 😀
