I'm from Austin, TX and I subscribe, Thank You!!! I also plan to get a t-shirt but have to look at my back pocket. d((6__6))b
They flew out of Nellis AFB to San Antonio, then Austin and back to Nellis? Here I am thinking they took off out Kelly/Lackland AFB SaTX and back. I caught them just in time doing their loop around San Antonio Medical Center from Christus Santa Rosa MedCenter Parking Garage. "America Strong"!!!
A trick : watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Ronin Lennox Yup, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
@Ronin Lennox yup, I've been using Flixzone for since december myself :D
Thank you Thunderbirds!! Flew directly over my house. It was an overwhelming sight! God Bless America!
Love how lead has his map out..."Now where the hell is San Antonio?" Go Air Force!
Traffic is light though.....
tremper tremper Outside of Phoenix, Arizona , on the side of one of our highest mountains, there is a sign with Phoenix with an arrow to the west, helps even motorists! I laugh every time I see it. I was just thinking about our flyover and this video popped up!
If the lead is in the Air Force (which he obviously is), then he was inducted into the Air Force with basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, which is part of the San Antonio metro area. I have a strong suspicion that he knows EXACTLY where San Antonio is!
Flew over my house today. Couldn't be more proud of them and feel so proud of AMERICA!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm not a cry baby but I just could not stop the tears. I am so proud of you guys. The goosebumps that I had that day when y'all flew in my city of San Antonio Texas. Please don't take for granted of what you do. You nave no idea how you make us feel. How you protect us we the people of the United States of America will protects you.
Anyone else get as much enjoyment from the pre-flight ritual as the actual flying?
My husband and I with our grandsons watched them from our driveway. Thank you for a memorable fly-by!
Amazing site to see as they flew over my home. Scared my cats half to death. 😂
S Rod 8.5 lives, gotta love the T-birds
Thank you guys!!!!!! It was awesome to see them flying around SA. Kudos, Thunderbirds!!!
I am so PROUD of these Servicemen and what they REPRESENT!
What about the servicewomen including Major Michelle Curran the Lead solo pilot.
i just saw them today they’re so awesome!! i love the thunderbirds!
For me of all the air demostration teams, the US air force has the best name "Thunderbirds" awesome!
Flying over my beloved San Anto! Amazing & thank you ! 🙌🏽
I saw Spurs home court. Go Spurs, go!
@@xihuantiyu that's right Bro! Go Spurs Go!
Proud to have the honor to pull security regularly on flight line of Nellis AFB (91), many a mornings the Thunderbirds would shake my coffee on dash of response vehicle as they took off together. 🇺🇸
Thanks for flying over San Diego. The Thunderbirds made two passes over the high school I work at as a custodian and it just so happened to be in the three-hour per week time frame I’m allowed to come in and clean right now. We have no idea if or when we’re going to come back to work on a long-term basis. Things are pretty grim here. We’re all assuming schools are going to radically change so there’s a lot of tension and uncertainty going around. There’s a good chance there will be a bunch of lay-offs. A flight of f-16’s cruising overhead was a welcome distraction.
AMERICA !!!! Best place on earth.
Thank you guy's for giving SA a thrill! And thank you President Trump for reminding us we live in The United States of America! USA STAND STRONG!!!
Not that it's a competition because I get goosebumps when I see either team's performance but hands down, the Thunderbird pilots and their F-16s are so much more bad ass than the Blue Angles.
Gsquared I disagree, The Blue Angels are better.
@@luispiros to each their own.
Just watched that video where that blue angel pilot plummeted to his death...
Thank you for flying over Austin, Texas this afternoon! Gosh you guys are noisy...
That is the sound of FREEDOM!!!

Love the F16! The Japan based display team have performed down here in New Zealand twice in recent years...best airshows ever! Thanks for these recent videos.
I was in New Braunfels, Tx.
A d was wondering what a group of neighbors was looking at?
I looked the opposite way in time to see a low fast flying V with one trailing.
Reminded me of a Red Flag exercise from 1981.
i LoooOOOOOOVE THIS!!! MAGAMAGMAGAMAGMAGAMAAGAAAAAAA
Thanks for the flyover, deeply appreciated by those on the front line... YOU'RE THE BEST!! from The Old Sarge..
Beautiful.
That engine hum inside the cabin would put me right to sleep!
I waited and waited outside, but didn't see them. Then I found out they were 1 hour late. Once I came inside the house I heard this loud roar, but couldn't run outside fast enough to see them. I did however watched the Blue Angels when they came to Austin years ago. They had a show at the Robert Mueller airport it was spectacular!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks ,Thunderbirds wish I could have been in the passenger's seat.
When they flew over N.Y with the Blue Angel's I couldn't see them but I sure did hear them. It's a sound you never forget. My dad took me to see them at an air show when I was a kid. Still get goosebumps!
Been watching these vids all day. ASV needs some kind of Award ! Thank You !
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!
bad ass...righteous cause
Of the long delirious blow i’ve topped the wind swept topped with ease grace we’re never lark or eagle flow and while with silent lifting mind I’ve tried the high on trepassed sanctity of space put out my hand and touched the face for God!!!...🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a sight! It made me feel so proud to be American!!! Go U.S.A.!
Thank you for your service ❤️
Love the F16 and the blue Thunderbird underbelly...
They flew right over my warehouse at Burleson and 71!!
Love this hiss these big boys make when they’re running idle........such bad ass planes! You guys are the greatest pilots we have thank you all for your service, the maintainers, crew chiefs, pilots and family’s that allow these men and women to do this!
tell me these guys don't have the best job in the world salute to the Thunderbirds
that is so very cool thank you
(๑ơ ₃ ơ)♥ I get goose bumps and patriotic tears every time! 🇺🇸👍 USA ⭐️ USA
Loved seeing y'all over Round Rock! Thank you so much! Stay safe!
WOW... I'm speechless...
I love these people.
Thank you T birds. ❤️ from ATX
Great to see the birds eye view of the various locations across the USA from a rural locked down Ireland
Thx from SA!! It was awesome
Best Flight Demonstration Team in the World! (Except for the Blue Angels) ... Sorry, AF members. Go NAVY!!!
The skill & precision is mind-blowing!!!
Flew over my place proud to be an American!
How do they do that!?
Wing tip vortices? Prop wash!? Wake turbulence? Downwash, oops and thousands of other things that can go wrong! Amazing.
I saw and caught them 2 weeks ago over Long Island, New York! Awesome catch!
Beautiful, STRONG , flyover!!!
Thank you guys!!!=)=)
SO, COOL!!!!! =)
I sleep during the day since I work overnight and the loud as fuck fly over prolly raised my blood pressure a couple of numbers but it was still badass.
Thanks you for all that you do! You brightened our day!
Once again "the essential American soul is hard,isolate,stoic, and a killer it heart has never yet melted nor will it ever...We are proud,we are free"....Thanks very much...!
Thank you for the video. I was getting tired of the Blue Angels getting all the headlines and videos being an old retired crew chief in the Air Force.Lol
Indee
FLY, FIGHT, WIN !
But them blue angel planes look awesome plus they have fat alberr the huge transport plane.
My son is a class of 2010 usna graduate. Got to watch them blue angels buzzing the naval academy grounds a mere 50 yards above the soccer and football practice fields. Cool air show put on every year in may for the midshipmen graduating classes.
Setting on the 91 freeway waiting for the Thunderbirds...its not the first time setting on the 91 fwy. In fact thanks to the easing of the quarantine its back to its normal stop-n-crawl.
Magnifique des pros ou aucune place à l’improvisation n’est possible un très très beau travail d’équipe
I saw the San Antonio ones and it scared the mess out of me
Austin: friend has Victorian house, the Thunderbirds flew over that neighborhood and friend's neighbor got a shot of that nanosecond they were over friend's house ! Its a wonderful pic!!
Great, Impressed, Awesome show !
USAF : " FLY, FIGHT, WIN " 👍
Superb flying and whole team! CAVU skies people. I would love to fly with you! Good job.
I was hoping the Thunderbirds would come to Fairchild and do a flyover Spokane and the surrounding area.
You guys are amazing.. Great flyover here in California!
Thank you! It was awesome!
Weird edit...why does it show take off and landing in the desert...didn’t they stage at JBSA Randolf?
So cool! Thanks for doing this! Watched from the ground here in Austin!
Extraordinary!
partial to thunderbirds, cause i like the air force, cause my brother was in the air force, and i likes the F16.
I live near Savannah / Hilton Head ( Travis Field ) and I see fighter jets almost daily . I miss seeing the A-10 Warthogs , where are they now ? I see the White un-marked No Number C130's and Gulfstream Test flights . That has to be the best job in the world .
Best o da best of USA b safe from one army overseas combat wombed warrior veteran to ya veteran here n thanks for sharing
❤🙏😇Thank you all for your Service to out Country; anyone know Daisy from Cannon Air Force base? She's my daughter 🙏💖😇
Thunder birds are cool but I want to see this done with something like B52s or B1s
Great video! I visited Nellis AFB last November. Back then, there are a few fighter jets in front of Thunderbird headquarter: F-22, F-35 and F-15. I work in TMC in Houston. I really wish you guys can come to Houston last week.
Lotta Las Vegas in this vid too
Awesome video thank you, i wish they would of done a flyover here in Houston, i know they probably didn't cause the blue angles did a flyover here last week i was disappointed i didn't get to see it, i thought i was in the perfect area to see them, why is there several 2 seaters i thought almost all the thunderbirds were single seaters, and what was the non painted thunderbird f-16 doing flying was that a camera plane or a training flight, thanks for taking the time to film, edit and upload for the rest of us here on RUclips to enjoy, keep up the good work!!!
I'm waiting for the "Rome Strong" video. Caesar, where are you?
Lol
Love all the crew hand signals...is there a book? Need to learn some...
Very well..happynes
Man what are the Ground crew doing! Their gangsigns harder than from the hood
having a little bit of fun, I think you're taking yourself too seriously..
Yeah, it's been downhill in this country for a long time and Fast !
Pretty sophisticated or refined gang signs
You guys fly to Texas and back to Nellis AFB without refueling? The range of F-16 is incredible!
They had their refueling planes flying out between cuerro and Gonzalez... They refuled between cities... That's why there was a gap of time between each city
So beautiful!!!!
From which field are they flying? Must be Nellis. Sure isn't Texas although the shot of Randolph Field was a nice addition. "Hook 'Em" from Austin.
Thanks for the footage, but I’m very surprised that I haven’t seen any footage from the BMT training area at Lackland AFB of the fly over. I figured that would be great motivational/PR footage.
Man, I retired in 92 and I don't recall the Thunderbirds ground support throwing gang signs at the pilots.I guess things have changed in the Air Force.
It's been downhill for quite a while now and not just the af...
Do they use those jets for war? Are they better than modern aircraft?
@4:53 Flying over USAA headquarters!
I am very curious to how you get this footage
Good job mush respect to yal next time Cruz thru the neighborhoods
Impressive but can you handle a TR3b
Get it..the enemy would run out of steam.. BEFORE. We would..💜💫💜💫💜
Why all canopies open at the same time? Was that controlled by ground?
no lead will call "canopies open" over the radio
Why did they not flyover Houston?
America F@ck yeah!
Blue angels flew through downtown Nashville today majority of my work came to the sidewalk it was hilarious
America.
Ever heard of MN? Yeah, didn't think so...
Now that's how u cover up the sun
Lol
AF pilots don’t have short runways like the Navy and Marine guys. Five Naval aviators piloted moon landings (Armstrong, Conrad, Shepard, Young and Cernan) and there should’ve been a sixth (Lovell). The only Air Force guy was Dave Scott. Deke Slayton, one of the original seven astronauts, was selecting the crews for Apollo missions. Slayton was Air Force, but he must have known the Navy pilots had greater landing skills because of the slim margin for error. Certainly nothing against great pilots like Buzz Aldrin, Mike Collins, Stu Roosa, Charlie Duke, the Thunderbirds and others. It just seems Navy and Marine Corps “right stuff” is step above the Air Force.
As ex Air Force, I have a soft spot for the Thunderbirds. However I am not happy that they couldn't fly over Houston. Noooo. They let the Navy get one over them. Come on, it is just a 30 min flight from Austin.
