Who We Are

Airborne Excellence

The Team

The team is composed of six virtual pilots and six support personnel. They join together online from their own homes to produce the Thunderbirds demonstration in the virtual skies. The pilots perform the same aerial maneuvers as the real team while support personnel capture their flying and recreate ground elements of the demo, like music and narration. The team broadcasts their demonstrations live on Twitch and YouTube.

The Mission

The team's mission is to inspire audiences around the world to pursue aviation by replicating the precision and professionalism of the USĀ Air Force Thunderbirds.

Virtual squadron, real talent

Six members are highly experienced virtual pilots who fly the team's routine. Many more personnel support the team on the ground, from narrating to producing livestreams.
