I spent most of my time at Aviation Nation 2016 at Nellis Air Force Base along the taxiway for the aircraft involved in the flying displays. The variations in the military pilots waves and hand gestures to the crowd became a fun sideline to the air show, especially those of the 6 USAF Thunderbirds pilots.
Some of the pilots were respectively all about the business at hand, whilst others were totally rocking out! Kudos in particular to Thunderbird 2 Captain Ryan “Neo” Bodenheimer who was having a blast in the cockpit clapping his hands, smiling and all fired up prior to his flying display!










It’s nice you also got the pilots in these images 🙂
