Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training's Capt. Will "Boar" Graeff, 88th Flying Training Squadron executive officer, is selected as Thunderbird 2 for the U.S. Air Force Aerial Demonstration Squadron for the 2018-2019 show seasons. As a Thunderbird, Graeff will be traveling approximately 200 days out of the year for two years, performing and executing maneuvers exhibiting the capabilities of the Air Force’s high-performance aircraft and the degree of skill required to operate them. He will demonstrate to spectators the abilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon with maneuvers like the Diamond, a legendary formation used by the team where Thunderbirds 1-4 fly their aircraft as close as 18 inches apart at speeds of roughly 500 miles per hour.
