Led by EMD SD38AC No. 203, a southbound Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range ore train is just south of Iron Junction, Minnesota, on September 9, 1989. These raw taconite trains operated between Thunderbird Mine at Eveleth and the Fairlane pellet plant at Forbes.
Thunderbird 6 from the previous post along with Thunderbird 5 performing at the McConnell Air Force Base Open House/Air Show in Wichita. . .September 2018. I was using a 300mm lens for this and had to crop the original quite a bit. Also, my camera was not a full-frame. I had squeezed in next to some "pro" photographers at a fence right next to the main runway which helped me get a few good shots. I really wish I had the super long lenses those "pros" were using that day!
The Thunderbird class sailboat was designed in 1958 by Seattle Washington naval architect Ben Seaborn, in response to a request from the Douglas Fir Plywood Association (now APA - The Engineered Wood Association) of Tacoma, Washington for design proposals for a sailboat that would "... be both a racing and cruising boat; provide sleeping accommodations for four crew; be capable of being built by reasonably skilled amateurs; provide auxiliary power by an outboard motor that could be easily removed and stowed; and out-perform other sailboats in its class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbird_26
The Thunderbird is a perfect day sailor for Port Townsend because they are light and fast. They can sail well in the smallest of breezes, but can also handle the stronger turns of weather we see in Port Townsend. They were technically built for this place.

Yesterday, we watched the new Thunderbirds documentary on Netflix. It highlighted the professionalism of the pilots, the science behind each maneuver, and the dangers involved. I’m looking forward to seeing them again in the next couple of years. This photo was taken during their visit to Canada in 2022.
There was an airshow here in Tucson Arizona this last weekend. I took this photo of the Thunderbirds in my front yard.
