T-Birds
Following in 5 September 2005 AW&ST.
Quote Two U.S. Air Force Thunderbird F-16s made contact during a performance at Chicago Air and Water Show on Aug 21, prompting the team's immediate landing. The #3 (right wing) and #4 (slot) aircraft touched during the Diamond formation's pass-in-review, causing part of a wingtip missile rail to break off one fighter (slot). There were no injuries or significant damage. The contact was so minor that pilots initially attributed the bump to turbulence. Practice flights were resumed on Aug 23. Un quote Big John |
