I had never heard of the Thunderbirds before reading this article. Thanks for sharing.
Children are naturally so idealistic it's sad when you grow up and learn how the world really is. Even if an organization like that was formed would they be welcome in many countries?
In the last couple of summers here in Alberta we have had really bad forest fires. Russia offered to help by sending firefighting teams and equipment. They have the world's biggest water bombers. Of course our government refused the help even though Canada's best water bomber was docked for what may have been bureaucratic reasons.
It's nice to see a post from you. They are always a good and informative read.
