Description
They're fast, they're loud, they're red, white, and blue...What else can you say about the Thunderbirds except that, like Fred Astaire, they make it look deceptively easy and the most natural thing in the world! ...In a word...Practice! This one was hard to resist doing just for the halibut!
The usual suspects...Poser, Vue6inf, and photoshop.

Very nice scene n great F-16 models Very well done
very nice f16 scene.
And yet another nice offering bro'. Menacing clowns.
Wonderful scene, you've really captured the motion here especially with the trails. The texture looks stunning too, now who could be responsible for that :)
perfect photo-realistic scene
extraordinary!
Excellent! Love the dynamics of this shot. I still remember the first time I saw the Blue Angles. I have never seen the Air Force team sadly - saw the planes, I arrived about 10minutes after the show was over. A bit of sociology I was reading says it takes 10k hours to master a skill at a world class level - I imagine they have lots of time in the air.
Perfect photorealistc scene and good work on the smoketrail. The new textures worked so good. :)
Can't hold a candle to the Blues, but fairly adept, for Air Force types!! great render, bud!!
Well done !
Great image, and fun-to-do texture, as mentioned huge thanks to Bill for the reference photo's. Amazed how well this came out (and you did great on the postwork ;) ). Your vision in composition and lighting make my efforts all the more worthwhile, huge thanks for this.
Great plane and great image.
Great job. Have yet to see them - but will one day! Rob.
Brilliant as usual !! Top Shelf
