(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. You can see the ACR logo at the bottom right of the signal mirror. The officer using the signal mirror here, Capt. (Dr.) William "Glen" Goncharow, has been selected to be Thunderbird 9 for 2017-2018.
