2019 Pro Lite Champion Hunter Patenaude recently received a little bonus from team sponsor U.S. Air Force, when he was treated to a ride in a USAF Thunderbird F-16.
The Thunderbirds were in Mankato, Minnesota performing at one of the many air shows they attend each season and as part of a long-standing tradition with team riders, Hunter earned his wings in one of the most technologically advanced jet planes on the planet.
Watch for a full Vlog of the event in the coming days, including onboard audio and video.
