The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Photographs, souvenir programs and official Air Force news releases trace the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds through their F-100 Super Sabre years, from diamond formations over the Nevada desert to crowds pressed against the airfield fence. The set preserves both the spectacle and the publicity machinery behind America's first supersonic precision flying team.
