I’ve moved away from it and my commitment to running a bar has waned. I have little interest left in cocktails or the food scene. I’ve not set foot in a bar that wasn’t one of my own in at least three years. The truth is I’ve lost my love for this industry. I got sober, I got healthy and I got burnt out. “Not only has the city changed but so have we. Our parties were killer and sometimes they damn near killed us. In those nine years we had many highs and lows, put out hundreds of unique drinks and had some of the most talented bar and kitchen staff Indy had to offer. The bar has morphed into various iterations molded by the staff, the guests and the needs of the neighbored. “Nine years ago we opened our doors in a fledgling Fountain Square as one of Indy’s premiere craft cocktail bars. However, circumstances have allowed us to end things a bit sooner on our own terms. Our plan was to ride things out until we hit year ten and decide if we wanted to continue. As we near our nine year anniversary, give or take a few weeks, we will be ending operations at Thunderbird on NYE. Josh Gonzales is owner of The Thunderbird. The Thunderbird bar announced Monday on Facebook that New Year’s Eve will be its last day. 6, Opposing Solo.INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - What’s been described as a rustic-chic watering hole in the Fountain Square neighborhood is closing after nearly nine years in operation. 5, Lead Solo and Major Kyle Oliver, Thunderbird No. 4, Slot Pilot Major Michelle Curran, Thunderbird No. 3, Right Wing pilot Major Zane Taylor, Thunderbird No. 2, Left Wing pilot Major Michael Brewer, Thunderbird No. 1, Thunderbird commander and lead pilot Major Trevor Aldridge, Thunderbird No. The flight demonstration team is made up of Lieutenant Colonel John Caldwell, Thunderbird No. Since the unit's inception in 1953, more than 350 million people in all 50 states and more than 60 countries have witnessed the distinctive red, white and blue jets in thousands of official aerial demonstrations. “This spectacular event provides an amazing opportunity to showcase the pride, precision and professionalism of the 693,000 total force Airmen to race fans viewing from around the world.” John Caldwell, Thunderbirds commander and leader. “Supporting the Indy 500 is a great honor for the team and Air Force,” said.

The Thunderbirds feature six F-16 Fighting Falcons, the Air Force’s premier multi-role fighter aircraft.
