Thunderbirds Flight – Frame Grabs!


This is a regular blog post. Looking for show notes or show audio? Please check out the other posts.

Rod Rakic and I just recorded the initial reaction episode and I’m working on editing it down. We also just got the video figured out. Here are some frame grabs courtesy of Will Hawkins.

Here’s a shot on the runway and ready for departure. Thumbs up!


Pulling up and flattened out by 4-5 gees as we climb for 10,000+. (And get there a few seconds later!)


Rolling to have a look at the airport below. That’s KBTL back over my left shoulder.

I’ll be editing down the episode that Rod and I just did with the idea of getting the episode posted sometime tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!
