Nice shots Jim.  I've never seen that Red, White, and Blue "pod" under Thunderbird #8 before.  Wonder if it is for storage.

Nice shots guys!  Blazer that Bone afterburner shot is off the charts!!  You definitely have my vote for POTM on that one.  Question for all you guys, how did you guys get access to Red Flag?  I've always seen those awesome shots but don' know how to get to go.

Yah, knowing what happened to the slot pilot makes this pretty melancholy right now.  Still, I was and AM stoked I got to see these guys fly at their home field.  I see the Blues something like 10 days a year and rarely see the T-Birds, so it was cool seeing them at their home field.  There was Red Flag, Green flag, Weapons School flying going on, and still T-Bird 1 took the extra time to bring the 6 jets in with smoke, they did an overhead break landing, it was impressive. 

It was also neat seeing the differences between the Blues and the T-Birds.  The Blues form the diamond as they are taking off, but the T-Birds launch with 1-3 together and the Slot hangs back until they are a couple miles away before he gets in tight-- have to see if I got a picture of that.

The other cool thing was, they take off and land from Nellis, but do the actual practice up at Indian Springs.  I was driving from Vegas over to Rainbow Valley, and off in the distance I see smoke trails.   It was the T-Birds practicing at Indian Springs.  They were done by the time I got to the base, but still, neat to see, and one of these days if I do that trip again, I might time it to watch the practice (they also fly drones out of Indian Springs, might be cool to get a shot of one there).

I do like that part of their takeoff, i think the slot usually waits until they pass the vertical section of the loop to transfer from the fingertip to the diamond.  I've always loved those formation changes mid loop.
