The U.S. Air Force Aerial Demonstration Squadron “Thunderbirds” performs F-16 acrobatic maneuvers Oct. 31, 2015, at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. The Thunderbirds team members perform for the 2015 JBSA-Randolph Air Show and Open House to be held Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. Air shows allow the Air Force to display the capabilities of our aircraft to the American taxpayer through aerial demonstrations and static displays and allowing attendees to get up close and personal to see some of the equipment and aircraft used by the U.S. military today.
