Typically, the skies above Sleeping Beauty Castle at Walt Disney World Resort remain magnificently empty. Besides the occasional flight from Tinkerbell, there is not any air traffic above the theme parks or resorts.

However, that will not be the case this upcoming Monday.

In just a couple of days, it won’t be fairies flying over Walt Disney World Resort. Instead, the Thunderbirds, the U.S. Air Force’s fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons, will take to the sky. To celebrate the start of Military Families Month and Military Month, the United States Air Force has planned a spectacular event that will surely leave a lasting impression on all who witness it.

  1. Except those appear to be Dassault Rafales in the photoshop at the top of the story. Not even American jets!

  2. And the ones at the bottom look like F-18s, which would be from the Navy/Marines

  3. Sleeping Beauty Castle is at Disneyland not Disneyworld.
