U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds

By Greg Lindstrom

Major Jason Curtis smiles as he watches a fellow pilot’s practice run with U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds in preparation for the Mountain Madness Airshow. Curtis, a 1999 Flathead High School graduate, first saw the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, better known as the Thunderbirds, as a 4-year-old kid in Kalispell. He joined the Thunderbirds in 2013. Greg Lindstrom | Flathead Beacon
