The view: Thunderbirds at Joint Base Mc Guire Dix Lakehurst (KWRI)
The pilot: Thunderbirds
The airplane: F-16C Fighting Falcon
The mission: Perfection
The memory: This was at the recent Power in the Pines 2025 Airshow where JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst opens its doors to the public for free (yes, tax dollars at work) and hosts a spectacular airshow. This year the headlining act was none other than the USAF Thunderbirds!
My now 8-year old son has seen the Navy’s Blue Angels but never the Thunderbirds. Upon seeing the signature diamond pass maneuver he asked, “Daddy, we should do that!” My response, “Absolutely!”
