The F-16C Thunderbirds No.1 plane, flown by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, represented the epitome of precision aerobatic flying during the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) in 2017. As the lead aircraft in the Thunderbirds squadron, the No.1 plane is tasked with demonstrating the highest level of skill and coordination during air shows worldwide. The Thunderbirds, the official aerobatic demonstration team of the U.S. Air Force, use highly modified F-16C Fighting Falcons equipped with enhanced avionics and a special paint scheme highlighting the team’s iconic red, white, and blue colors. While the F-16C Thunderbirds No.1 plane did not participate in combat operations, its role is to inspire public support for the Air Force through performances at international airshows, including RIAT, where precision maneuvers, synchronized routines, and breathtaking formations showcase the team’s skill. These displays promote recruitment, military relations, and demonstrate the capabilities of the Air Force’s frontline jets, serving as a symbol of American airpower and a tool for public diplomacy. This 1:72 scale model captures the stunning detail of the Thunderbirds' iconic livery and squadron markings, making it a perfect addition for collectors and aviation enthusiasts, honoring the skill, precision, and teamwork of one of the world’s most respected aerobatic teams. The model measures approximately 8.25 inches in length with a wingspan of 5.25 inches.
