In a Thunderbirds livery and simply coded 9, this aircraft is ex Danish Air Force GT-949 painted again with the markings of its first operator USAF.

Formed part of the flying display at the Wings Over Houston airshow.

One of the first batch of F-16s for the Thunderbirds, this aircraft previously flew as number 6 and later as number 10. To AMARC for storage on February 1, 1996.

This Thunderbirds F-100 is one of the survivors from the terribly sad demise of the Chanute Air Museum at Rantoul. It arrived at YIP during October 2015 and is now part of the very interesting Yankee Air Museum.

Thunderbirds ship # 4 was the slot machine that always caught the exhaust soot from the rest of the formation. Back in 1960 a decision had been made to allow the tail of #4 to remain black, although never painted as such. The Thunderbirds graduated to the heavy Phantom from the F-100D in 1969 and relinquished them in favour of T-38's in 1974 after a break thanks to the 1973 oil crisis. 66-0291 went into storage at Davis Monthan in 1991 as an NF-4E after test use at Edwards and removed for scrap 5.11

Lead ship of the Thunderbirds team which went to war as a regular F-4 in Vietnam a year later. Now preserved on a plinth at MacDill AFB, FL, in camo with 56th TFW code 'MC'
