Have a lot of downtime at work today waiting on software product build server. Thought I'd dig up all the past liveries for the USAF Thunderbirds for those interested in military history.

If anyone interested please feel free to clarify dates for the various liveries or if there's any I missed.

F-4 Phantom

This particular livery was quite expensive for the T-birds due to the fuel consumption involved. Facilitated a quick switch to the next model.

T-38 Talon

Finally the current livery

General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon

Anyone care to speculate on future upgrade? Methinks the F-22 is too scarce in USAF inventory due to short-sighted decision to prematurely terminate the program as well as the expense of running a dual engine fighter for demonstration team.
