Anthony Mulhare, advance pilot/narrator for the Air Force Demonstration Squadron Thunderbirds. Major Mulhare visited Keesler Dec. 16 to assess the base’s ability to meet those requirements before the team’s appearance at the base’s Thunder on the Bay Air Show, April 4-5. Keesler is the Thunderbirds’ third stop this year, with more than 73 performances planned in the U.S., Europe and the Far East. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
