FORT WORTH THUNDERBIRDS

The Thunderbirds training program continues through the last Thursday of September. Come and learn to fly a Radio Controlled aircraft. We have dedicated instructors and all the equipment you need.

There is no charge for the use of the equipment or our instructors time. Click on the Training link to learn more, or view our flyer.

Cook Children's Hospital Toy Drive: New, unwrapped toys for children from toddler to adolescent. More details to be published shortly. Last year, the Thunderbirds made a generous donation that was well received. We aim to do the same this year. Check your upcoming Pilot's Log newsletter for instructions on how you can make a difference in a child's life.
