Thunderbirds to be at Minden air show

The Air Force Thunderbirds will be performing during the Aviation Round-up on Aug. 22-23 at the Minden Tahoe Airport.

The Thunderbirds squadron is an Air Combat Command unit composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel performing in almost 30 job specialties. A Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a demonstration. The entire show, including
the ground show and air demonstration, lasts about 75 minutes.

Civilian aircraft will also be performing.
