Thunderbirds at Scott Air Force Base

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds have added the Scott Air Force Base air show to its 2012 show schedule.

The Thunderbirds, the Air Force’s premier jet demonstration team, recently announced its 2012 show schedule at the annual International Council of Air Shows Convention and has the Sept. 15-16 Scott Air Force Base air show on its schedule.

The last time the Thunderbirds performed at Scott was in 2008 when it headlined the air show. The 130-person squadron represents the more than 500,000 active duty, Guard and reserve Airmen at air shows across the country and around the world each weekend from March through November.
