F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. --  The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds joined local community members to help serve breakfast during the annual pancake breakfast July 21 at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza. The lines began forming around 6 a.m. and by kick-off at 7, approximately 10,000 people had shown up for a free breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes.

The Thunderbirds concluded their visit to the depot with an autograph session. Enlisted personnel with the Thunderbirds handed out prints of the group in their famous diamond formation.

The Thunderbirds use community events, such as the breakfast, to present communities with a professional image of the Air Force and the Airmen who are a part of it. The three main objectives of the Thunderbirds mission are recruitment of new Airmen, providing a positive representation of the Air Force and increasing retention of current Airmen.
