U.S. Airforce Thunderbirds Flyover Magic Kingdom. National Veterans and Military Families Month begins with a thrilling Thunderbirds flyover at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot on October 30th, setting an exciting tone for the month ahead. We were at Disney’s Magic Kingdom this morning to witness the flyover and got some fantastic images to share.
We also have a great slo motion video which you can see on our Facebook page below.
The Thunderbirds perform for people all around the world to display the pride, precision, and professionalism the U.S. Air Force represents. Through air shows and flyovers, they aim to excite and inspire. In addition to showcasing the elite skills all pilots must possess, the Thunderbirds demonstrate the incredible capabilities of the Air Force’s premier multi-role fighter jet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
The officers and enlisted Airmen who make up the Thunderbirds embody professionalism and skill. Eight officers serve as our highly experienced pilots, and four serve in critical roles from medical support to public affairs. The more than 120 enlisted members represent nearly 30 different career fields and serve as the backbone of our team, ensuring all jets and operations are in top shape at all times.
We are kicking off National Veterans and Military Families Month early by hosting a flyover over Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds flight demonstration team on Monday, October 30 at approximately 10:30 a.m. During this time, it may be a little louder than normal, but we hope you feel the thrill when you look to the skies.
No matter which Park you choose to visit, you can expect to enjoy breathtaking views. In the event that Park reservations are scarce, you’ll find excellent vantage points for sightseeing at TTC, Polynesian Resort, and the Contemporary.
