This F-16D was temporarily used as a trainer for the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. Marked with white surfacing (the position of the flags of the Thunderbirds aircraft), white missile rails' on the wing tips, and a display circle (with 479 in it) on the intake, all used for perfect positioning during tight formation flying. In the back-seat a Thunderbird instructor is seen, while in the front seat a future Thunderbird pilot is likely evaluated by him.
