A Thunderbird Thank You Published April 25, 2011 By Lt. Col. Case Cunningham U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds commander SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- I wanted to take this opportunity to say "Thank You!" from the entire Thunderbirds Team to Team Seymour Johnson. Putting on an Air Show is no small task, and the Thunderbirds absolutely cannot execute our mission of representing the pride, precision and professionalism of the nearly 700,000 active duty, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard and civilian Airmen of your United States Air Force without your help. During "Wings over Wayne," thousands of spectators witnessed our demonstration. That demonstration is not about us, but about all of you. We strive for perfection in every show to represent the way you perfectly execute your mission, at home and abroad. Each one of you, day in and day out, keep America's Air Force the most advanced and respected air, space and cyberspace force the world has ever seen. Our hope is that everyone who saw the show at Seymour Johnson left with a powerful sense of pride in America's Airmen, our Air Force and the United States. All of your hard work and incredible attention to detail made that possible. We would like to specifically thank Capt. Tim Dowling, Capt. Kendall Chudy and Master Sgt. Kevin Stewart for all of their effort to make our operation at Seymour Johnson a complete success. Thank you all again! We are extremely honored and humbled to represent all of you as we travel across this great Nation. Aim High . . . Fly-Fight-Win!
