The Thunderbirds are the USAF's stunt demonstration team.  They are so cool; the stunts they do (flying upside down, flying in super tight formation, flying so super close to one another) are absolutely insane.  You can't see in the pictures, but each aircraft is painted with the image of a thunderbird on its belly, which looks so cool up in the air.  

The aircraft on top is a North American F-100D Super Sabre used by the Thunderbirds from 1964-1968.  According to Wikipedia, the Thunderbirds used to use these aircraft to create sonic booms with the permission of the air show sponsor; this practice ended when the FAA banned supersonic flight over the continental United States.  As per the NMUSAF website, "The F-100 was the world's first production airplane capable of flying faster than the speed of sound in level flight (760 mph)."

The aircraft underneath is a General Dynamics F-16A Fighting Falcon used by the Thunderbirds from 1982-1992.  The Thunderbirds now use F-16Cs (plus two F-16Ds, which is the same as the C but with two seats instead of one).  

Here's a video of the Thunderbirds performing at an air show in 2022; time stamps of note include 4:30, 6:15, 6:40, 7:46, 8:35, 9:20, 13:50, 17:40, 20:55.  Or you can watch the entire video because the whole thing is super cool :D

If you ever get to see the Thunderbirds (or go to an air show) in person, remember to bring ear plugs.  They are loud.

Bro looks like he’s talking on a cellphone. F-100F’s were used for fast FAC missions “call sign Misty”and later for the first Wild Weasel missions without success the HUN wasn’t the right plane for the job.
