Anybody who knows a little history about the Air Force will give the Thunder Tiger Aerobatics Team a thumbs-up. Indeed, the Thunder Tiger Aerobatics Team is not only the representation of the excellent fighting skills of the Air Force, but also the communication bridge between the Taiwanese citizens and the Air Force itself. On August 14th, the Air Force Day every year, people come to the Air Force Base with their families under the blazing sun just for seeing the wonderful airshow of the Thunder Tigers and enjoying the spectacular aerobatics with the AT-3 jet trainer. You will find the magnificent scenes unforgettable once you go through the electrification, excitement, and prodigies made by the Thunder Tigers with AT-3 jet trainers up there.
One who has seen the performance of Thunder Tigers may ask: How do they make it? How can they fly so low, so fast, so tight, and so cool?¡¨ Of course, all the surprising performances are woven with the sweat and tears of every member in the team and the experience gained from countless practice flights. Just like the actors on the stage, these pilots also have to spend much more time mastering aviation skills just for the thirty-minute airshow. All is done for nothing but presenting the best of them to the audience throughout the island. The difference between them and the actors is that, the Thunder Tigers get no extra pay, no material rewards ¡Ð they fly just for their dreams!

This web page is constructed for nothing but presenting our utmost respect for the instructors of Thunder Tigers.
