The Thunderbirds are the United States Air Forces premier aerial demonstration squadron. Since 1953 the Thunderbirds have shown off the power and performance of the USAFs frontline fighters. Starting with the thunderous F-84g Thunderjet the team would later transition to the F-84F Thunderstreak marking the teams first swept wing aircraft. After a year of useage the team transitioned into the F-100C SuperSabre making the team the worlds first supersonic aerial demonstration squadron. the team would go on to use the F-100C until 1964 when they switched to the F-105 Thunderchief, but after just 6 shows the team switched to the F-100D SuperSabre due to an fatal incident. The team used the F-100D until 1968 when the transitioned to the F-4E Phantom II. The team used the F-4E until 1974 when they transitioned to the T-38 Talon due to an oil crisis! It took 1 F-4E the same amount of fuel that 5 T-38s could use to put on the show. The team used the T-38 until 1982 where they switched to the mighty F-16 Fighting Falcon because of a fatal incident known as the Thunderbird Diamond Crash. They continue to fly the F-16 today.

I'd like to thank firewill for his fantastic F-16 Fighting Falcon mod.
Plans
Future plans include improving the texture.
I also plan on releasing the texture for the F-16D model when I have everything worked out.

Hey @MayhamgamingYT you can find them on the eden editor under Blufor Look for a category that says Thunderbirds F-16 and you can find the aircraft under there. Just click and drag the aircraft to where you want and you're golden.

sense its impossible to make a squadron in arma that stays very close together, can u make a version of all the Thunderbirds in a formation and set it as a single vehicle?

Real quick, untill the smoke generation script is released, You really only need FIR AWS it has a smoke gen that can be put on the wings of the f16, or in the engine they are called "Smokewinders" and they come in 4 colors Red, Yellow, Blue, and White.

Great mod! Love the retextures! Is there any chance you'd be open to making a guide on how to retexture firewill stuff? Just the basics like what to config and such?
