The Thunderbirds fly six F-16 jets. Accompanying them will be about 65 team members.
On Friday from 9 to 10 a.m., visitors to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force can meet members of the Thunderbirds demonstration squadron as they sign autographs. Museum doors at 1100 Spaatz St. will open to the public at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
The museum asks visitors to bring only one item per person to be autographed.
Thunderbird team members attending the autograph session include #3 Maj. Zane Taylor, right wing pilot; #6 Maj. Kyle Oliver, opposing solo pilot and 2006 Beavercreek High School graduate; #10 Capt. Katie Moorkamp, executive officer; and three enlisted team members.
