THE IMAGE Captured during the Aviation Nation airshow at Nellis Air Force Base on April 5, 2025, this photograph freezes one of the most technically demanding maneuvers in aviation: The Calypso Pass. Performed by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the image displays the exact moment the Lead Solo (Thunderbird #5) flies inverted directly above the Opposing Solo. The alignment is so precise that the two F-16 Fighting Falcons appear to be a single aircraft reflected in a mirror. The detail is sharp enough to see the inverted pilot scanning the horizon and the international flags painted on the intake of the number 5 jet.

THE MEDIUM Printed on Metallic Fine Art Paper. The pearlescent finish of this medium perfectly mimics the glossy "Thunderbird White" paint scheme of the aircraft, making the jets pop against the deep blue sky with a three-dimensional brilliance that standard matte papers cannot achieve.
