OK...I think I know what your asking. The TB groundpounders wear a dark blue work uniform, I'd probably paint them Flat Insignia Blue, they don't have an Insignia RED uniform at all. The pilots have a red, white or dark blue flight suits. The squadron does have its own assigned photo and video crew.

Ever see the Blue Angels yellow (aka Banana Suits)flight suits?! :banana:/>/> I haven't seen any recent pics of them in the white. I remember them as a kid when they were in T-38s wearing them, they may be gone and the red ones seem to come out on rare occasions...if you see the pic of the Solo ejecting he is in red. They used to have a gray suit that they wore back at Nellis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Follow this link (Thunderbirds support team images) for some photos I took at RIAT in 2007. They might prove useful. In answer to one of your questions, the T-birds have a dedicated audio visual and media team who record all their displays Regards, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now that I see the T-Birds with white flight suits, I'm not sure I really care for them. They're kind of bland. I do like the red ones. That gray one, though. Wow...that one is just plain sweet. That one just screams "bada$$." Love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
