Thunderbirds wrap up 2009 Far East Tour via Air Combat Command
The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron left their home at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., six weeks ago to embark on a whirlwind journey that took them halfway around the world.
The Thunderbirds typically travel from mid-March to mid-November in the continental United States; however, this year, the 2009 Far East Tour took the team to multiple locations in the Pacific, traveling more than 22,000 miles.
With a final pass over the crowd in Seoul, Korea, the world-famous Thunderbirds waved goodbye to their fans and completed the last performance of the tour.

I was down near the Intrepid Air and Space Museum in Manhattan this morning to get a look at the USS New York(PHOTOS)which is berthed across from it, and noticed one of the Concordes is on display there. I've also seen one previously in Seattle at the Museum of Flight. I didn't have the time to take a tour today, as I'm just here for a few hours on a turnaround.
