I saw the Thunderbirds perform a long time ago at Pease from the road (Rte 27?) where it crosses over 95. They came over the end of the runway at what seemed lower than the top of the lightpoles. Whew! We were on the overpass and it seemed like they were flying right at us before they banked hard into a turn. The next year they came they were much higher up. That was when the base was an active AF base. Now I suspect you can get much closer without having to go on to what was the base.
