I’m captivated by the Thunderbirds. The rumbling roar over Colorado Springs during football season or on graduation day gets me every time. And I’m not the only one. Cars swerve off the freeway and onto the shoulder, families gather in nearby parking lots, some watch from rooftops--just to look up. How does this flight crew perform such amazing Continue Reading
