Air Force Thunderbirds

My wife  and I drove up to Ogden earlier today to watch an air show taking place at Hill Air Force Base.  The show featured various stunt planes and military aircraft demonstrations that were incredible to see in person.  The highlight of the show, however, was the demonstration put on by the Thunderbirds. The stunts and formations these pilots are able to perform are amazing and great to photograph…if you can catch them.  The show announcer said that these planes fly at speeds approaching 1,ooo MPH so catching them required incredibly fast shutter speeds and some great timing.  More photos can be see seen on my Flickr photostream.
