Description
The USAF Thunderbirds preform at Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming against a clear blue sky.
The USAF Air Demonstration Squadron the "Thunderbirds" is the air demonstration squadron of the United States Air Force. The Thunderbirds are assigned to the 57th Wing, and are based at Nellis AFB, Nevada. Created in 1953, the USAF Thunderbirds are the third oldest formal flying aerobatic team in the world, after the US Navy Blue Angels formed in 1946 and the prestigious French Air Force Patrouille de France formed in 1931.
The Thunderbirds Squadron tours the United States and much of the world, performing aerobatic formation and solo flying in specially marked aircraft. The squadron's name is taken from the legendary creature that appears in the mythologies of several indigenous North American cultures.

The image might have been originally posted some time ago but perfect for the 4th July approaching, great composition and perspective with the flag and the Thunderbirds set against the clear blue sky, superb work.
