The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds were the most high-flying act of Saturday's Warriors Over the Wasatch show at Hill Air Force Base.

It was one of the demonstration team's first shows since one of its F-16s crashed June 2 at the U.S. Air Force Academy commencement. The show generated long lines of traffic as perhaps 600,000 people attended.
