The photo here is interesting for two reasons, the bird and number of aircraft

The photo here is interesting for two reasons, the bird and number of aircraft

The image that shows a vulture seemingly in close proximity to the Thunderbirds F-16s actually has four aircraft despite looking like only two. It was the last in a sequence with the four planes in a diamond formation with the two closer planes in near perfect alignment with the farther pair as they passed below the bird. ?


On my way home from my final day at the old job, a quartet of F-16s in a tight diamond formation flew across I-94 in front of me

It was the Thunderbirds practicing for tomorrow's Thunder over Michigan airshow at Willow Run airport in Ypsilanti, MI. I got off at the next exit and swung around to the north side of the airport to take some photos. Here are all six planes in delta formation
