USAF Thunderbirds #1-5 perform the Five Card Loop with RS. <= The F-16 'Falcons' are flown by Lt. Colonel John Caldwell (#1 Commander/Leader), Major Will Graeff (#2 Left Wing), Captain Michael Brewer (#3 Right Wing), and Major Whit Collins (#4 Slot) with Major Matt Kimmel (#5 Lead Solo).
Much of the Thunderbirds' display alternates between maneuvers performed by the diamond, and those performed by the solos. They have a total of 8 different formations: The Diamond, Delta, Stinger, Arrowhead, Line-Abreast, Trail, Echelon and the Five Card.
They perform formation loops and rolls or transitions from one formation to another. All maneuvers are performed at speeds of 450 to 500 mph. [Wiki]
