HISTORY ASPECTS:The F-16C Thunderbirds "Warbird" No.10 was part of the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron known as the Thunderbirds during the late 1980s. The team transitioned from the T-38 Talon to the F-16A in 1983 and later upgraded to the more advanced F-16C. The No.10 aircraft was typically assigned as a maintenance spare but was still painted in the team’s signature red white and blue livery. While primarily used for aerial demonstrations and public outreach the Thunderbirds F-16s remained combat-ready and could be converted for operational missions if needed.The Thunderbirds’ F-16C performed breathtaking aerobatic displays across the United States and abroad showcasing the aircraft’s agility and power. The team executed precise formations such as the Diamond Loop and the iconic High Bomb Burst demonstrating the skill of Air Force pilots and the capabilities of the F-16. Though not directly engaged in conflicts the Thunderbirds played a vital role in military recruitment diplomatic missions and inspiring future gene
