| The Thunder Tigers celebrated their 60th birthday with an open house at Tainan Air Base. The gates opened around 07.15 hours and the people started pouring in. After an ID check the Taiwanese were allowed inside. Foreigners however were refused entry unless they had applied 1 month before. Nobody was aware of this policy and some foreigners had to stay outside. If you were inside early you could get some decent shots of the static under a clear blue sky and without too many people around the airct. The flying started with a single IDF for a weather check and after that a formation of 5 IDF’s from the locally based 1st TFW, the solo demos and finally the Thunder Tigers. | |||
