    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the tasks and the performance of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds aircraft maintenance team. Staff Sergeant Nathan Kearns explains that with their jobs, the Thunderbird pilots do not perform a walk-around inspection because they trust the team to present them with safe aircraft. Chief Master Sergeant Tom Mical also comments that the Thunderbirds have never canceled a flight due to maintenance issues since they have the best maintainers in the Air Force.
