Thunderbirds begin 2015 schedule with Super Bowl show

Questo probabilmente sara' il sorvolo alla fine dell'inno nazionale, che pero' praticamente non sara' visto quasi per niente essendo notte
L'anno scorso, a East Rutherford, per il Superbowl, siccome USAF, US Navy e Marines non hanno partecipato ad alcun evento, ci fu il sorvolo di diversi Apache (li sentii passare distintamente molto vicino a casa).

Posto qui questa notizia .....

Il comandante del 'Thunderbirds' è stato rimosso a causa della perdita di fiducia nel suo 'stile di leadership e gestione del rischio' .....

The commander of the Air Force Thunderbirds has been relieved of command following a loss of confidence in his “leadership and risk management style,” Air Combat Command announced Wednesday.
Lt. Col. Jason Heard was serving his first season as commander of the US Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron and Thunderbird #1, according to a biography now removed from the Thunderbirds’ website.
Heard was previously an F-15E expeditionary squadron commander with more than 3,000 flight hours.
Brig. Gen. Jeannie Leavitt, commander of the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB, Nev., relieved Heard effective Nov. 20.
