Lt.Col. Tom Swalm seen sitting on the wing of his Phantom signing autographs after a show.  This time spent talking to Thunderbird team members is just as fun as the actual show.    Notice how close the crowd was allowed to get to the aircraft, truely and intimate experiance for airshow fans.   Special Thanks to Gary Swansong at Air Force Enlisted Forums (afforums.com) Photo courtesy of Air Force Communications & Information History Office, Air Force Communications Agency
