US ThunderbirdsGive him the bird, Maverick! Two Thunderbirds pilots show off their high-flying skills at Don Muang Airport.

The United States Air Force's Thunderbirds demonstration team put on an impressive air show at Don Muang Airport Saturday afternoon.

Nothing gets the masses oohing and ahhing like a good old fashioned airshow. The Thunderbirds managed to attract thousands of spectators -- and bring traffic to a standstill in the process.

Over 20 million people around the world have seen the Thunderbirds’ performances in the last two years, says the team's official website. This is the Thunderbirds' 56th show season, with the team set to perform in Japan next weekend.
