The United States Air Force Thunderbirds were the headline performers at the 2014 Battle Creek Field of Flight and Balloon Festival. On Sunday July 6th, the Thunderbirds had to perform their flat show due to the low cloud ceiling.

This video shows the Knife-Edge Pass between the two solo pilots of the Thunderbirds. The two solo pilots bank the wings of the F-16 to 90 degrees and pass each other at show center. This maneuver is difficult because of the aerodynamics of the airplane.

Watch this video in 720P or 1080P at 60 frames per second.
