Photographers Narrative

 

For the 60th Anniversary of the Thunderbirds I wanted to highlight a member of the Thunderbirds Alumni. For all that Major General Eddins achieved professionally, it was refreshing to see how humble and pleasant he was. This image captures how much he enjoyed and valued his time as an Airman and Thunderbirds pilot.
