SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- On May 21-22, 2016, The United States Air Force's aerial demonstration team is scheduled to bring the noise over the skies of Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina.

Commonly known as the Thunderbirds, these F-16 Fighting Falcons present a constant image of excellence in every air show they perform in and demonstrate the capabilities of both Air Force pilots and aircraft.

The Thunderbirds are an invaluable asset to the Air Force as a reminder of what air superiority looks like. Their demonstrations and feats of wingmanship display just how remarkable the United States Air Force really is.
