F-100C Super Sabre-"USAF Thunderbirds"-2/6/59-Part l/ll

If this video violates a copyright, PLEASE contact me FIRST, and I will remove it immediately.

Spellbinding and rare footage of the T-Birds with their F-100Cs, practising around the Nellis AFB range, Lake Meade, & the Indian Springs range located near Creech AFB, just north of Nellis AFB in Nevada.

Sorry, no audio...you guys know me well enough to know that I wouldn't kill jet noise if there was none in the first place. :-)

Not to be missed by Super Sabre & Thunderbirds fans!

Just made my night...thanks for posting.

2:30....even that far back that cannot be Nellis AFB, the mountains don't look right in the background.

It looks a hell of a lot like Groom Lake during the early years.

Again a WONDERFUL HISTORICAL VIDEO....5 *****

@PatriotsJetTeam Okay, but I was in the "neighborhood"!

I know Indian Springs...it's just east of the Highway.

Thanks!

[PatriotsJetTeam]

@rampking1 It's the Indian Springs range located by Creech AFB just north of Nellis AFB in Nevada. The Thunderbirds to this day practice there during winter training.

@MarinerCayPilot The practice range is called Indian Springs, located by Creech AFB in Nevada, north of Nellis AFB. And it wasn't a mountain, it was the floor of the range. They were going up practicing a line-abreast loop and the leader had insufficient backpressure on the stick to finish the loop. Following their leader to the end, all four planes plowed in the ground.

[MarinerCayPilot]

they used to practice at a place called Indiantown, I believe, west of Nellis.....years ago, all 3 followed the leader into a mountain near there..... an old Hun jock
