Thunderbolts to Thunderbirds

Belinski’s future role with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will go beyond flying, he will represent the U.S. Air Force, both in the air and on the ground. As advance pilot and narrator he will speak to millions across the country about the precision and pride behind every Thunderbird demonstration. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Mason Hargrove)
