Members of the 2025 U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron “Thunderbirds” talk about the Calypso Pass, a maneuver where Thunderbird pilots 5 and 6 perform a pass with Thunderbird 5 inverted, creating the illusion of a mirrored image. The Thunderbirds perform for people all around the world to display the pride, precision and professionalism the U.S. Air Force represents. Through air shows and flyovers, they aim to excite and inspire. In addition to showcasing the elite skills all pilots must possess, the Thunderbirds demonstrate the incredible capabilities of the Air Force’s premier multi-role fighter jet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon. (U.S. Air Force video production by Samuel Morse, Jamie Chapman, A1C Anisha Deaton and A1C Caitlyn Simmons)
