April 11, 2025 | 2:05
The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds’ Hometown Hero Program recognizes exceptional individuals from local communities who exemplify service, sacrifice, and dedication. Selected hometown heroes are nominated for their significant contributions—ranging from public service and volunteerism to leadership and lifesaving actions—and are given the rare opportunity to fly in an F-16 Fighting Falcon with the Thunderbirds. The program serves as a bridge between the Air Force and the public, highlighting the core value of Service Before Self and honoring those who inspire others through action.
