  • All eight F-16's of the United States Air Force (USAF) Thunderbirds fleet depart the Daytona Beach Int'l Airport (KDAB) in sequence following their flyover performance of the NASCAR Daytona 500 race. The fleet consists of six Lockheed Martin F-16C Fighting Falcons (single-seater) and two F-16D variants (two-seater) all of which are seen in this video. They depart runway 25R in two separate waves with about 8 seconds of separation between each aircraft in the formation. ATC included with the lead aircraft using a "Thunderbird 1" callsign. Thanks for watching!

    Nothing compares.to a live show. The sound just vibrates your ears and body. You feel the heat. It is beyond amazing. My son was a Thunderbird for four years and I was lucky enough to see four of his shows. I will never forget.

Scared the crap outta my kid but he got over it quickly once he saw how badass they were with the flight skills. There is NOTHING in this world like FULL BURN! Found myself proud to keep their families safe here at home while they're out doin their thing! ROCK ON T-Birds!!!

    Great vid! FYI, separation is 10 or 15 seconds for MIL power takeoffs (give or take since the pilot usually just counts to himself). In this case, they used 10 seconds. For combat loaded takeoffs, combat F-16s will use 20 seconds due to the heavier takeoff weights.

    I saw the Thunderbirds a couple weeks ago at an airshow in Florida. I went a too far in the water and ended up with them flying less than 30 feet above me. It seems cool until you realize that you can feel each of your individual organs inside you moving around from the sheer volume of their engines. I decided I didn't want to cover my ears AT ALL during the entire airshow because "oh I want to join the air force so i should get used to the sounds of the engines destroying my ears and deal with it". I also looked like a lobster for a week and still have two completely different skin colors on me. My arms and lower leg are normal for the rest of my family, quite tan and dark while my thighs and torso are super white. Bruh moment indeed.

    Anybody notice at the beginning they didn't use afterburners for takeoff? They didn't need to. They didn't need to impress anybody at the time. They needed to conserve fuel for the airshow. Afterburners consume "Umungatoid" (my word) amounts of fuel. They saved fuel for the airshow so they would have sufficient fuel reserves for the landing back at home base airport.
