High above the Nevada desert, six jets soar, loop, and dive in tight formation. The Thunderbirds of the United States Air Force are the rock stars of the air show world, a team of combat-tested pilots called to awe and inspire crowds in the millions with their unforgettable aerial performances. From executive producers Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds embeds viewers with the 2023 team, gaining unprecedented access to cockpits and briefing rooms as they prepare for the annual certification of their acrobatic maneuvers — a grueling training process whose G-forces and near-miss patterns will take your breath away. 

Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds premieres on Netflix on May 23, 2025.
