Captain Chris Stricklin has been in the Air Force since 1994 and flew
with the Thunderbirds since their first season.


Hardly....The Thunderbirds have been around long before 1994. Perhaps
they meant to say "since the first of THIS season.

The pilot that flies the #1 Thunderbird plane came out and talked with us at
A&P school. If I remember correctly, he said that they fly 2 (or 3 ?) years
with the T-Birds, no longer.

The T-Birds have been flying since the mid 50's. First planes were F-84's

Also, wasn't it about 1994 when they started flying again? Remember, they
had a crash and they stopped flying for several years.
