Thunderbirds receive warm welcome from Blue Angels at NAF El Centro
EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY), The United States Air Force Thunderbirds flew in to the El Centro Air Facility Wednesday afternoon.
They relieved a warm welcome from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.
The thunderbirds will be in El Centro for the next few days where they will be training alongside the Blue Angels.
Last year the Thunderbirds came to NAF El Centro for the first time.
They said the partnership they were able to form with the Blue Angels has been a special one, which is why they are hoping to make the joint training a yearly tradition.
Celebrating African American Military Milestones

Alongside churches and schools, the military is one of the oldest and most important institutions in the U.S. The U.S. Armed Forces include the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. Even though an army has existed since the start of the Revolutionary War in 1775, the official U.S. military was not formed until the U.S. Congress had its first session on September 29, 1789.
African Americans have served in every war on American soil and abroad since the French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years War. However, they served predominantly in segregated units. When allowed admission, African Americans faced harsh mistreatment in the military academies, received demeaning military assignments (often relegated to the galley and not to combat), and were denied promotions and the opportunity to serve as leaders.
