Still Ambassadors
Since the founding of the United States Air Force Thunderbirds in 1953, one of the missions set forth for the team has been, is now, and will continue to be, to act as role models and ambassadors for a life of excellence and service to community. Any time a Thunderbird is on camera or in front of the public, they are never anything but professional, polite, and excited to show people their mission and encourage them to live the same values they do every day.
As Flight Simulator Thunderbirds, we are not military officers; we are not involved with the military at all. We don’t perform across the country at the largest airshows, and we don’t appear on talk shows for enthusiastic hosts. However, we are NOT excluded from our role as ambassadors just because the space in which we operate does not match that of the real team. Excited people, young and old, join our voice channel in the Flight Simulator Discord to talk with us, fly with us, and catch a glimpse of what it’s like to fly formation as a Thunderbird. Our Discord steadily grows and with that our hobby and passion.
I present to you, an official announcement of the 2022 Flight Simulator Thunderbirds.
