(Dr.) William "Glen" Goncharow, has been selected to be Thunderbird 9 for 2017-2018. Thunderbird 9 is the flight surgeon for the USAF Thunderbird air demonstration team. During airshows, traditionally Thunderbird 9 marks show center for Thunderbird 1 with a flash of sunlight from their signal mirror. The signal mirror Capt. Goncharow is using here is a 2.75"x4.25" polycarbonate ACR Hot Shot™ signal mirror with a red retroreflective aimer that produces a "red dot" aiming aid - a glowing red ball of light visible only through the aimer, that indicates the direction of the reflected beam of sunlight. This photo shows the hexagonal pattern o f the holes in the red retroreflective material quite clearly. You can see the ACR logo at the bottom right of the signal mirror.
